DiMasi who resigned in January was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on a charge of participating in a scheme when he was speaker that allowed him to pocket $57000 in payments from Cognos while making sure the company won state contracts.

Patrick also defended his administration’s actions in awarding one state computer contract that was allegedly rigged with DiMasi’s help. “First of all we’re the ones who called in the [Inspector General] when our team first got wind of cause for concern and I have absolute confidence that our team in every respect performed professionally and with integrity” Patrick said in the interview.
