Rep. Robert A. Brady will not run for re-election, he announced Wednesday. The Pennsylvania Democrat was already facing a handful of primary opponents amid an ongoing scandal relating to his alleged bribing of a former challenger.
The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported that Brady’s decision was not related to the court case surrounding allegations that his campaign paid a 2012 primary challenger to leave the race. He reiterated that point at a Wednesday afternoon press conference in Philadelphia.
“I will not be charged in this case,” he said. “I did nothing wrong.”
The FBI had filed a search warrant relating to Brady’s emails in the case, the Philadelphia CBS affiliate reported in November. The same month, the Inquirer reported that the statute of limitations for most of the charges Brady could have faced would expire in January.
