Attorneys for Sen. Ted Stevens say the FBI
recorded more than 100 of the Republican lawmaker's phone
conversations.
Jurors could hear those calls later this month when Stevens
stands trial on charges of lying about hundreds of thousands of
dollars in home renovations and other gifts he received from an oil
contractor.
The FBI did not tap Stevens' phone but did tap several phones
belonging to contractors in the case. Stevens was recorded 105
times.
In court documents filed Tuesday, Stevens' attorneys say they
may try to keep jurors from ever hearing those phone conversations.
They say the FBI may have inappropriately taped those calls if they
were outside the scope of the government's warrant.
