DMN: U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions (R) hasn’t responded to a report that he sent a supportive e-mail to banker R. Allen Stanford hours after Stanford was charged with swindling $7 billion from investors.
But the wording attributed to Sessions “resembles” something he might say to a “person in crisis,” the congressman’s spokeswoman said Monday.
“I love you and believe in you. – Pete”
The Miami Herald reported Sunday that Sessions expressed his loyalty to Stanford at 11:31 a.m. on Feb. 17, hours after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission charged the banker with bilking thousands of investors.
“I love you and believe in you,” said the e-mail reportedly sent by Sessions, a Dallas Republican. “If you want my ear/voice – e-mail,” said the message signed “Pete.”
