Complaint claims illegal free help

WASHINGTON - Rep. Jean Schmidt isn't Turkish, and there aren't many Turks in her southern Ohio district, but the Miami Township Republican is deeply invested in a legal battle stemming from the Turkish denial of the Armenian genocide.

And that battle could land her in a heap of trouble.
