The Post has the latest on Rep. John Murtha and a company connected to his newphew, Robert Murtha.

Robert Murtha, an engineer, benefited from some of the defense contracts when companies brought him in to manage a small portion of the work. Even when the main contract shifted to a new company, he continued to be paid as part of the team. Some former business associates and employees told The Washington Post that they thought the role played by Robert Murtha’s companies was unnecessary.
