Major Democratic Donor Claimed Dog, Dead People as Clients in BP Oil Spill Fraud Case,

Court Documents Say Mikal Watts is regarded as a Democratic kingmaker and wealthy Texas trial lawyer who even hosted a private $35,000-a-plate fundraiser for President Obama at his home.

He is now under federal indictment for allegedly fraudulently representing thousands of clients -- including a handful of dead people and a dog -- in litigation against BP after the 2010 Deep Water Horizon oil spill.

Watts appeared in federal court Thursday in Mississippi along with his brother, David who is also charged.

Both men, along with five others, allegedly used stolen and false identities of people to sign up as plaintiffs in their case against BP, eventually claiming to represent more than 40,000 individuals making claims against BP valued in excess of $2 billion.
