The husband of Vice President Kamala Harris's newly appointed top advisor is embroiled in a bribery and corruption scandal that could bankrupt Sin City.
Clark County Commissioner Justin Jones, 47, was a lawyer for an environmental group when, in 2018, he allegedly entered an 'illicit and corrupt deal' with Nevada's Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak, killing a property developer's plans for a high-density residential development on 2,400 acres near Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Under his company, Gypsum Resources, and backed by his creditors, developer Jim Rhodes is now suing the county and its board of commissioners for damages that, he claims, run to more than $1billion.
If successful, the settlement could wipe out the $1.5billion budget of the Nevada county which is home to Las Vegas and its world-famous Strip.
Jones's wife Megan Jones was appointed Special Assistant to the President and Director of Public Engagement at the Office of the Vice President last month, according to her LinkedIn page. She had worked closely alongside former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for more than 20 years before his death in December last year.
Among the accusations against Jones is that he deleted emails – including many to his wife – as he tried to cover his tracks.

Oh, you said "paid".
I wonder if this has anything to do with the reporter that was stabbed in LV recently.
Damn thieving commie RATS. More corrupt than a caravan load of illegal aliens.
“developer Jim Rhodes”
Oh if you all could know who this dude is.
I believe there was one freeper that wrote a book about Harry Reid and this dude.
The whole dam works is worse than the outfit was.
This is such a quaint crime it almost make me feel sorry for him. There was a time when such a thing moved the needle (e.g. Geraldine Ferraro’s husband). Not any more.

I was wondering if you were going to catch that name. Isn’t that our friend from GV?
The one who lost his ass with the project?
I cant remember his handle..
No I meant Rhodes... Isn’t he the one who flubbed the housing project in GV?
OH!...DUH! Misunderstood you.
Ya..he was going to put in a whole bunch of homes in GV and got chased out.
Thats how Reid got so rich. He would get a bunch of land taken out of federal protection and this guy would go in a develop it and kick back to Reid for each lot he sold around LV.
Yes, that is what I thought. Well he deserves what he gets... lol
