A federal jury on Tuesday convicted a former aide to ex-Connecticut House Speaker Christopher Donovan in connection with illegal contributions to Donovan’s failed congressional campaign last year.
The jury in New Haven found Robert Braddock Jr. guilty of campaign finance and conspiracy charges, only hours after hearing closing arguments. Braddock was the finance manager for Donovan’s campaign for the 5th Congressional District seat. Donovan’s congressional campaign ended up getting derailed by the allegations.
