Pennsylvania congressman Bob Brady is under investigation for allegedly orchestrating a bribery scheme. The case involves Brady’s campaign allegedly giving $90,000 to a Democratic primary opponent in exchange for dropping out of the race.

Former Philadelphia Municipal Court Judge Jimmie Moore ran against Brady in the 2012 Democratic primary. Insufficient campaign cash and a failure to gain traction led Moore to ultimately drop out of the race — at least that was the public assumption at the time.

Not much consideration was given to that race in the years that followed.

Brady, a longtime representative of Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District, has been a stalwart force in Philadelphia Democratic politics.

He has been a member of Congress since 1998 and has served as the Chairman of the Philadelphia Democratic City Committee since 1986. He was also a local union leader before entering Capitol Hill.

However, Brady has been under increasing hot water since the Justice Department in July unsealed details of a bribery investigation involving his campaign.
