To be clear, this story blows holes in the UCP's narrative that the scandal is all AHS's fault.

A billionaire has privileged access to government decisionmaking.
Evidence suggests he's manipulating the system to enrich himself and his companies.
Members of the governing party remain silent as the evidence mounts.
