Congress investigates Navy contracting practices as a bribery scandal unfolds. The office of House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa says Navy Secretary Ray Mabus will brief lawmakers this week. Issa has asked Mabus for copies of Navy contracts with Leonard Glenn Francis, owner of an Asia-based ship husbanding service. Francis allegedly overbilled the Navy by at least $20 million. He's accused of bribing Naval officers in exchange for favorable terms. Issa says it's part of a trend that calls for closer scrutiny. The Navy is reviewing all port service contracts.
