The Department of Homeland Security produced a letter yesterday from former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham recommending a limousine company for federal contracts -- a day after saying it did not have such a letter.
The latest twist in the tale of Shirlington Limousine and Transportation Inc. -- which is part of a federal investigation into whether a defense contractor provided the California Republican with prostitutes and limos -- prompted ridicule and disbelief from lawmakers.
A department spokesman said the letter was discovered in a folder by an administrative assistant who had read news reports yesterday morning about its disappearance.
"She says, 'Oh, I get those kinds of letters all the time -- I just throw them in a folder,' " said DHS spokesman Larry Orluskie. "So she starts looking through the folders and finds this letter."
