2 kids burned by drink at buffet are released from hospital

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Ex-Pennsylvania state treasurer Rob McCord is agreeing that he couldn't realistically deliver the extra state business he'd discussed with a wealthy investment adviser who's on trial for allegedly trying to bribe McCord with campaign contributions. McCord spoke in federal court under questioning Monday by a lawyer for defendant Richard Ireland. It's McCord's fourth day testifying. For one thing, McCord says he would've recused himself from a state pension board vote to put millions into an index fund created and licensed by Ireland. He also says he was going to leave his post as treasurer and couldn't shift another $75 million in treasury money to an asset manager marketed by Ireland. McCord taped conversations with Ireland in late 2014 while cooperating with the FBI. McCord resigned weeks later and pleaded guilty in his extortion case.
