A star's fall from grace: how a savvy American politician lost his way

Article Abstract:

Cisneros' troubles began with misstatements made to the Federal Bureau of Investigation over payments to his one-time mistress, Linda Medlar. Cisneros claimed the payments, made between 1990-1993, were never more than $10,000 a year. When Medlar sued Cisneros in 1994, tapes she made of their conversations became public. Cisneros is heard on the tapes conspiring to keep information from the FBI. Cisneros could face up to 90 years in prison if convicted on charges of conspiracy and of lying to the FBI about an investigation.
