Breitbart: “With eight days to go until Alabama Republicans head to the polls to cast a ballot for their choice for who will represent the GOP in the November general election, former Auburn head football coach Tommy Tuberville is being confronted with his past, both as collegiate football coach and a private citizen.”
“Last week, the Tuberville campaign had to answer for a Washington Examiner report that as coach of the Auburn Tigers, Tuberville handed down a one-game suspension, a seemingly light punishment, to player charged with rape of a 15-year-old in 1999.”
“On Sunday, The New York Times delivered another shot to the Tuberville campaign with a report drawing attention to the former football coach’s involvement in a 50-50 hedge fund partnership with former Lehman Brothers broker John David Stroud.”
“An investigation resulted in a 10-year federal sentence for Stroud for securities fraud, but no charges for Tuberville. Tuberville was sued in federal court by investors and later settled. However, the terms of the settlement were not made public.”
