Plea of Former Congressional Staffer

A DOJ Press Release reports that a "former chief of staff for a U.S. Senator from Colorado, has pleaded guilty to a charge of making a false certification,"  She admitted that "she engineered a plan to receive $2,000 in unreported income from her personal assistant by triggering larger than normal salary payments to the personal assistant from which the personal assistant was directed to pay [her] $2,000." The press release says that she then failed to include these on her disclosure forms.
