Three San Diego councilmen under scrutiny in a federal bribery and public corruption probe met with the lobbyist for a Las Vegas strip-club owner in the last four months, according to their city calendars.
Councilmen Michael Zucchet, Charles Lewis and Ralph Inzunza all met with Lance Malone, a lobbyist for strip-club owner Michael Galardi. The FBI raided the offices of the three councilmen last month. All have denied wrongdoing.
