It also says he told the FBI he was unaware that a lobbying firm was paying part of his son’s salary.
It has been previously alleged that Thomas Libous arranged his son’s job and salary and promised extra business for the law firm.
Libous’ office said it would comment later. A message left at his lawyer’s office was not immediately returned.
