Abstract
The indictment further alleges that she traveled to Iraq in February 2002 on the IIS' tab, received cash payments of $5,000 and subsequently delivered a letter describing her contact with members of Hussein's regime to the home of a U.S. government official. Media accounts have identified that official as White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, Lindauer's second cousin.
Lofgren Chief of Staff David Thomas confirmed that the subpoena was related to the Lindauer case and said it was "related to her employment in Congresswoman Lofgren's office.
"I was shocked to learn from news reports today that Ms. Susan Lindauer ... was indicted for 'conspiring to act as a spy for the Iraqi Intelligence Service,'" Lofgren said.
