WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 (UPI) -- U.S. prosecutors apologized for providing misleading information in former Sen. Ted Stevens' trial, but defense lawyers said they should be held in contempt.
In a letter to the judge dated Jan. 30 and made public Thursday, the head of the U.S. Justice Department's Public Integrity Section said he was wrong when he said government employees named cited in an FBI complaint alleging improprieties by government officials "want their story to be made public," the Anchorage Daily News reported Friday.
