M.P. defends himself against accusations of perjury
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
M.P. George Galloway demanded to be charged of perjury after the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations leveled accusations against him of accepting kickbacks from the Iraqi government during the U.N. embargo.
A 65-page report by the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations accuses M.P. George Galloway of perjury and obstruction of congressional proceedings.
The committee claims Saddam Hussein's government granted Galloway and his ex-wife vouchers for some 20 million barrels of oil in exchange for kickbacks during the U.N. embargo on Iraq.
Galloway voluntarily testified before the Senate panel May 17.
"I did not lie under oath in front of the Senate committee," Galloway told the BBC Tuesday.
"If a Senate committee can go on the international airwaves without putting this to you, without sending me an advance and accuse me of lying under oath in front of a Senate committee, then I demand they charge me with perjury and I'll be in the next plane to face it."
The committee report will be handed to the Department of Justice for possible criminal charges, CNN said.
