The Miccosukee Indian tribe in South Florida claims its members could owe nearly $26 million to the Internal Revenue Service because of bad legal advice.

The tribe claims Lehtinen gave misleading advice about whether individual members had to pay federal income taxes out of casino gambling distributions.
