(CNSNews.com) – Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) again called on rival Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) to provide more specific details about his claim that the White House offered him a high-level administration job in exchange for dropping his challenge to Specter in the Senate Democratic primary race.
Sestak's claim of a job offer has become a major issue in the Pennsylvania Senate Democratic primary. The White House, meanwhile, has yet to offer a clear-cut explanation.
Specter made his latest comment about Sestak at an editorial board meeting with the Delaware County-Daily Times of Primos, Pa. It comes at a time when Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) also is seeking more answers from the White House about the alleged job offer. Legal experts have said such an offer, if it happened, would be illegal.

Sestak first affirmed the allegation in February when Philadelphia TV newscaster Larry Kane asked him if the White House “offered a federal job to get out of this race.”
Sestak answered, “Yes,” but declined to tell Kane what the job was or who made the offer, although he did affirm that it was a high-level job.

White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet RacesFor the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused -- by Democrats -- of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.
The jobs in question? Secretary of the Navy and a position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The favor requested in return? Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by President Obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.
