Email Chain Discussing Ed Mezvinsky's Criminal History and Connection to Chelsea Clinton (File 028487)
Forwarded email chain from March 2015 discussing Ed Mezvinsky, a former Iowa congressman and convicted fraudster, and his connection to Chelsea Clinton through his son Marc's marriage to Chelsea.
Summary
This email chain forwards a political commentary piece about Edward Mezvinsky, a former Democratic congressman from Iowa (1973-1977) who served on the House Judiciary Committee during Nixon's impeachment proceedings. The message highlights Mezvinsky's 2001 indictment and conviction for bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud involving embezzlement of over $10 million through Ponzi schemes and Nigerian email scams, for which he was sentenced to 80 months in federal prison. The sender emphasizes that Mezvinsky is the father-in-law of Chelsea Clinton through his son Marc's marriage, noting they purchased a $10.5 million NYC apartment, and critiques what the author perceives as disparate media coverage of the matter compared to similar situations involving Republican political families.
