EX-MEMBER OF CONGRESS SPIED FOR FBI

A former congressman from Kentucky worked as an FBI informant for six months this year, wearing a recorder on his body and taping phone conversations about a dozen times, as he tried to stave off prosecution in an investigation that started with the House Bank scandal.

Justice Department spokesman Carl Stern confirmed that former nine-term Rep. Carroll Hubbard had worked as an informant for the FBI but would not elaborate. Hubbard was defeated in a Democratic primary last year.

FBI agents - who gave Hubbard a beeper, stationery, business cards and the code name Elmer Fudd - used him mainly to record some of his old associates who were involved in campaign activities being investigated, Hubbard said.
