Hey Crimestituents! We're gaveling in another session of Crime in Congress, a new true crime podcast with hosts Harley and Sarah that examines the shockingly true crimes and scandals of America’s elected officials throughout history.
This session recounts the scandal of one of Utah’s first Senators after becoming a state. This is a classic case of a love affair turned deadly resulting in the shooting and death of Senator Arthur Brown at the hands of his longtime mistress, Anne Madison Bradley.
