=====
(AP) SAN DIEGO, Calif. Attorneys for Randy "Duke" Cunningham are
denying reports that the disgraced ex-congressman wore a wire to
surreptiously gather evidence for the U.S. government.

Cunningham's defense attorneys issued a statement Monday denying a report
that appeared in Time magazine and prompted fierce speculation in
Washington. Time reported Friday that Cunningham wore the wire before he
entered his plea on November 28th.

Cunningham, a 64-year-old Republican, resigned from Congress after
admitting that he pocketed $2.4 million from defense contractors and others
in exchange for government business and other favors.

Attorneys Lee Blalack and Mark Holscher say Cunningham has never wore a
body wire during conversations with his former congressional colleagues or
any other public official.

They also say he has not surreptitiously gathered evidence against any
public officials.
