FBI probes Nevada governor for corruption - Lisa Myers & the NBC News Investigative Unit - MSNBC.com:
"In an exclusive interview with NBC, Montgomery — who's now at war with his former partner — makes an explosive charge. He says that near the end of the cruise, he saw Trepp pass money to the congressman.
Dennis Montgomery: There was a lot of alcohol and a lot of drinking. And that's when I first saw Warren give Jim Gibbons money.
Lisa Myers: How much?
Montgomery: Close to $100,000.
Myers: How can you know?
Montgomery: Because he gave him casino chips and cash.
Myers: Are you sure about what you saw?
Montgomery: I'm absolutely, positively sure.
So sure that Montgomery has made the same allegations in federal court. Montgomery's wife also says she saw Trepp pass casino chips to Gibbons. In addition, Montgomery provided NBC with hundreds of e-mails, he says, from Trepp's computer.
Days before the cruise, Trepp's wife e-mails her husband: 'Please don't forget to bring the money you promised Jim and Dawn on the trip.'
Hours later, Trepp e-mails back: 'Don't ever send this kind of message to me! Erase this message from your computer now!'"
