...most puzzling turn in the scandal concerned Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill. Before Park's public testimony, the Justice Department released a document to the ethics committee that cast doubts on the Speaker's repeated assertions that he had nothing to do with Park other than being given two elaborate ($6,000 total) birthday parties at the George Town Club plus a set of golf clubs and some hurricane lamps.
