YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Convicted businessman Milton Choy paid bribes to influence legislation and eventually became an FBI informant. He’s been central to a federal probe into public corruption.

Reporter Blaze Lovell brought to light that Senate President Ron Kouchi was among Choy’s close allies for years, though there’s been no evidence that the senator committed any wrongdoing.

Kouchi was a guest at Choy’s Las Vegas suite, and their relationship reportedly gave Choy closer access to Hawaii’s politicians.
