Sentencing Delayed for Rep. Kim and Wife in Campaign Fund Case
A Los Angeles federal judge has postponed the sentencing of Rep. Jay C. Kim (R-Diamond Bar) and his wife, June, to Jan. 14 after they pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor charges of knowingly accepting and concealing more than $230,000 in illegal campaign contributions from corporate and foreign donors.
The Kims were to have been sentenced Oct. 23, but Judge Richard A. Paez granted a delay at the request of the federal probation office, which is preparing a pre-sentencing report on the couple for the court.
Under terms of a plea agreement with the Kims, the U.S. attorney’s office agreed to seek no more than six-month sentences for them.
