Former Cincinnati City Councilman P.G. Sittenfeld may be the one on trial for public corruption, but the most dramatic testimony in U.S. District Court on Friday came from an FBI agent who talked about the behavior of his political cohorts.
FBI case agent Nathan Holbrook revealed P.G. Sittenfeld’s fundraising strategist confessed to pocketing $15,000 that FBI agents gave him to deliver to a different campaign: then-Mayor John Cranley.
When FBI case agent Nathan Holbrook transferred from Indianapolis to the Cincinnati field office on January 4, 2018, he picked up several open public corruption cases.
