Two Indicted in Espy Investigation
A Tyson Foods Inc. vice president and the company’s top lobbyist were charged in a 15-count federal indictment with giving illegal gifts to former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy and lying about it. The charges against Archibald L. Schaffer III, the Tyson executive, and lobbyist Jack L. Williams involve the same $12,000 in gratuities that Tyson pleaded guilty in December to giving Espy: playoff football tickets, tickets to a presidential inaugural dinner and a scholarship for Espy’s girlfriend.
