It was just recently revealed that Murphy faced foreclosure on his home shortly after being elected to Congress. Additionally, Murphy failed to pay his rent in 2003. Furthermore, it seems possible that Murphy received a sweetheart deal from Webster Bank in exchange for federal bailout money. Murphy was able to secure a below-market mortgage loan at 4.99%, not long after defaulting on his original mortgage. Shortly after, the bank received a bailout from the federal government to the tune of $400 million. Also notable is the fact the bank is both a campaign contributor and has paid Murphy for legal services.

In a statement issued last week, opponent Linda McMahon’s campaign manager Corry Bliss raised several questions about the suspicious circumstances surrounding the Murphy foreclosure, and demanded an explanation from the campaign. Since then, McMahon has filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics against Murphy.
