FBI not investigating Republican skinny-dipping, drinking in Israel

WASHINGTON (MCT) — FBI officials said they are not investigating any criminal wrongdoing in a late-night swim last summer in Israel involving drinking and several Republican congressmen, including one who skinny-dipped in the Sea of Galilee and has since apologized.

The incident occurred during a fact-finding congressional trip for mostly freshmen GOP lawmakers and was paid for by the American Israel Educational Foundation, during a night of revelry that eventually led to a late-night dip by congressmen and some of their aides.
