According to the Bloomberg report, Freddie Mac contends that Gingrich’s job was to pull in conservative support for the taxpayer-backed lender. Not surprisingly, Gingrich, like other big-name Democrats and Republicans, was supposed to “identify potentially supportive party members on Capitol Hill.” In Gingrich’s case, two executives told Bloomberg, he was also supposed to “provide written material that could be circulated among conservatives on Capitol Hill and in outside organizations.” Bloomberg also says that he attended internal meetings and made a donation to Freddie Mac’s PAC. Freddie Mac officials dispute that he “warned” the lender about the housing bubble.
