HARTFORD COURANT: Ethics Complaint From Judicial Watch Says Price Dodd Paid For Cottage Amounts To A Gift.

Judicial Watch filed an ethics complaint Friday against U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, saying the price Dodd paid for his cottage in Ireland amounted to a gift from a friend and accusing the senator of failing to report it as such on government disclosure forms.

“It’s relatively straightforward,” said Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch. “It looks like he is getting taken care of in Ireland, and he’s not reporting the nature of the gifts he is getting as a result of his being taken care of.”

Dodd’s office responded angrily, attacking Judicial Watch’s credibility, criticizing the group’s complaint and criticizing The Courant for reporting it.

No defensiveness here.
