The scandal plagued former governor of New Mexico - who Virginia Roberts claimed she had underage sex with on Jeffrey Epstein's orders - has been dragged into the mud once again.

Career politician Bill Richardson has been accused of raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and kickbacks while in office - money which allegedly funded a luxury and debauched lifestyle including 'sexual services and favors', according to a recently unsealed legal complaint obtained by DailyMail.com.

According to the lawsuit, Richardson ran a scam dubbed the 'Richardson Ring' which saw the one-time governor benefiting from money he grafted from business investments into the state of New Mexico in the early 2000s.

The greedy politician lined his own pockets with cash, used some money to fund his political campaigns and organizations and also enjoyed lavish meals, wine and liquor as well as luxury travel and entertainment, the legal filing claims.

And during the Bush Gore election aftermath, I believe he played a strong role in handing his state to Gore.

That is not QUITE right.

Richardson’s father was an American Citizen banker working in Mexico. He sent his wife to the US so Bill would have the benefit of being America born. His mother absolutely hates the USA, and would have had him born there to be a Mexican Citizen if the father hadn’t insisted.

Bill Richardson himself prefers Mexico too, (heard it from his own mouth at a private gathering back in 1983). I was surprised that he didn’t move back there permanently after his political career essentially ended. I guess he stayed because in the USA crooked dealings don’t usually end with bullets and machetes like it does in Mexico.

Foreign journalists do the job that American journalists refuse to do.

There’s no proof he was born in the USA besides his word. He was born south of the Border and his momma claims he was born here. He’s Mexican.
