Massachusetts: John Tierney Tries to Turn the Page After Bad Week

By Joshua Miller  Posted at 3:23 p.m. on July 3

Updated 3:45 p.m. | Massachusetts Rep. John Tierney (D), facing allegations that he had knowledge of his inlaws’ gambling operation, held a press conference today in an attempt to answer questions and turn the page away from a politically damaging story.
 
“I am telling the truth. I have always told the truth,” he said at the press conference where he explained he was aware of what he thought was a legal off-shore gambling operation, according to the Boston Globe’s Glen Johnson.
 
Late last week, Daniel and Robert Eremian, brothers-in-law of the eight-term Congressman, both said he had knowledge of their gambling ring. “He knew everything that was going on,” Daniel Eremian told the Salem News, after being sentenced to serve years in prison on illegal gambling charges.
 
“I will verify everything that my brother said, which will show John Tierney is lying,” Robert Eremian, a fugitive living in the Caribbean, told the Boston Globe.
 
At the press conference today, Tierney said the brothers were mad “because their brother-in-law the Congressman didn’t make this go away for them,” according to the Globe.
