Did Suspected Bribe Money to Kwame's Dad Have Drug Ties?

An unflattering portrait of the Kwame Kilpatrick family continues to crystalize.

The latest: The Detroit News reports that the feds are trying to determine whether a $100,000 bribe allegedly paid to the ex-mayor's father Bernard Kilpatrick came from a suspected international heroin dealer.

The News reported in April that Detroit businessman Abner McWhorter allegedly passed on the bribe to Bernard to get a $10 million loan from the Detroit pension fund.

Now the feds are trying to figure out if McWhorter borrowed the doe from a Macomb resident, who faces charges of running a large-scale drug operation. -- A.L.
