Hey Crimestituents! We're gaveling in another session of Crime in Congress, a new true crime podcast with hosts Harley and Sarah that examines political scandals and infamous crimes with elected officials.

This session, we are discussing part I of the infamous abscam - a story of corruption, luxury, and a con man turned FBI informant who would be critical in bringing justice to several high profile politicians.
