DEFENDANT’S WITNESS
BRENT WILKES
Address to be determined.
According to Wikipedia: “As the Washington Post put it, ‘Wilkes was an obscure California contractor and lobbyist until his name surfaced last year as one of two defense contractors alleged to have given “Duke” Cunningham $2.4 million in cash and other benefits in return for Cunningham's steering government business their way. One of Wilkes's companies received more than $80 million in Pentagon contracts over the past decade that stemmed from earmarks that Cunningham slipped into spending bills.’
“In 1995 Wilkes started ADCS Inc. which stood for automated document conversion systems." With Cunningham's help, he began winning contracts from the Pentagon.
"He snared a $1 million Pentagon contract in 1997, which Cunningham proclaimed ‘an asset’ to San Diego. In 1999, ADCS was awarded a $9.7 million contract to convert documents in Panama. Subsequently, the company began collecting more than $20 million a year in defense business.
“In return, Wilkes rented hospitality suites at the Watergate Hotel and at the Westin Grand Hotel for Cunningham and other legislators and their guests. Wilkes hired Shirlington Limousine & Transportation Service of Virginia since 1990 for entertainment at the Watergate Hotel. In 2005, the Department of Homeland Security granted Shirlington a $21 million contract. According to reports in the Wall Street Journal and the San Diego Union-Tribune, prostitutes regularly accompanied guests at the suites.
“However, ‘the military never asked for the ADCS projects. In fact, in 2000 the Pentagon's inspector general blasted the company's biggest project, a $9.7 million contract to convert documents in Panama. The report said the program was created under pressure from two congressmen, whom Pentagon procurement officials have identified as Cunningham and Duncan Hunter (R-Calif), chairman of the Armed Services Committee,’ to whom Cunningham had also donated heavily’. “
