TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Under pressure, Newt Gingrich arranged the release of a contract Monday night showing the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. paid his consulting firm a $25,000 monthly retainer fee in 2006, for a total of $300,000.
The agreement calls for "consulting and related services" but makes no mention of lobbying.
Gingrich has likened his work for the federally-backed mortgage giant known as Freddie Mac to that of a historian, and later a strategic adviser. Campaign rival Mitt Romney says he was lobbying.
