Prosecutors disclosed late Wednesday that LaHood, 75, of Peoria, who was Transportation secretary from 2009 to 2013, denied to FBI agents that he had received the loan until he was shown a copy of the $50,000 check. He also did not tell agents that he knew Chagoury was the ultimate source of the loan.
