Virginia: Insurance company subpoenas Kilgore and other Republicans

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports: Attorneys for an insurance company being sued by the Republican Party of Virginia in connection with an eavesdropping dispute subpoenaed the party's gubernatorial nominee, Jerry W. Kilgore, yesterday.

Christopher C. Spencer, an attorney for Union Insurance Co. of Lincoln, Neb., said he also is issuing subpoenas to GOP members of Virginia's congressional delegation, to U.S. Sens. John W. Warner and George Allen and to the Republican National Committee.

All contributed to the $750,000 the state party paid to settle a lawsuit brought against it by Democratic legislators after two GOP officials eavesdropped on Democratic phone calls.

"I want to know what they paid and why," Spencer said. "I want to know what the Republican Party lost, if anything." -- TimesDispatch.com | Kilgore subpoenaed in civil case
