Two big updates today on the ongoing federal bribery probe into Ted Loza, chief of staff to Ward 1 D.C. Council member Jim Graham.

First, the Washington Post today cites sources who are contradicting earlier reports from WUSA9 and FOX 5 that the councilman himself is a target of the investigation into corruption within the regulation of the D.C. taxicab industry. ‘Several law enforcement sources said that Graham is not a target or even a “person of interest” in the investigation,’ write reporters Tim Craig, Nikita Stewart and Del Quentin Wilber.

Second, the Washington City Paper has just posted this week’s cover story, penned by Mike DeBonis and Jason Cherkis, online, and it’s a doozy. The report details way more than you ever wanted to know about Loza’s personal life, including allegations of some seriously icky dealings with a Salvadoran woman with whom he fathered a child. Court records show Loza was accused of physically abusing the woman and, at least once successfully, pressuring her into having an abortion. The woman in question later carried a second pregnancy to term, and a subsequent child support order may help explain some of Loza’s financial problems, which also include $13,000 in unpaid property taxes. Loza has been indicted on charges of accepting $1,500 in cash and other gifts from a taxicab industry lobbyist.
