Joseph P Waldholtz

The fugitive husband of Rep. Enid Greene Waldholtz (R-Utah) surrendered to the FBI here Friday, six days after disappearing in a swirl of questions about his handling of the couple's personal and campaign finances. For the first time, federal authorities indicated Friday that the criminal investigation of Waldholtzes' alleged financial misdeeds encompasses his wife as well. Joseph P. Waldholtz, 32, appeared before U.S. District Judge Emmet G.

As his congresswoman ex-wife dabbed at her eyes, Joseph Waldholtz was sentenced to 37 months in prison Thursday for felonies that included a $3-million check-kiting scheme in her 1994 campaign. "I'm relieved my long nightmare is over," Rep. Enid Greene (R-Utah) said afterward. She wept openly during the court session, twisting a handkerchief as she listened to the judge chastise the man she divorced in June. "This is a very sad day for me," she said outside the courtroom.

Rep. Enid Greene Waldholtz's marathon litany of "Joe did it" excuses for her financial predicament didn't sway Utah voters, a newspaper poll concludes. Despite a tearful five-hour news conference in which she blamed her estranged husband for thefts from her campaign, her father, herself and creditors, a poll by the Salt Lake Tribune showed that more people than ever are clamoring for her resignation.

Prosecutors demanded the immediate imprisonment of Joseph Waldholtz on Wednesday, alleging that the ex-husband of Rep. Enid Greene (R-Utah) used heroin and continued to write bad checks as he awaited sentencing for bank fraud and other misdeeds. Waldholtz's lawyer, Barbara Nicastro, was not available for comment. U.S. Atty. Eric H. Holder alleged in papers filed with the court that Waldholtz's violations included: * Using heroin daily for at least several weeks.

A judge granted Rep. Enid Greene (R-Utah) a divorce from her estranged husband, Joseph Waldholtz, whose alleged mishandling of campaign funds brought her promising political career to an abrupt end. Judge William Thorne granted the request during a 20-minute hearing but said questions regarding custody of the couple's baby, Elizabeth, and other issues will be determined at a later date.

Joseph Waldholtz, the estranged husband of Rep. Enid Greene (R-Utah), pleaded not guilty in federal court Friday to a 27-count bank fraud indictment. U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson set a hearing for May 30 and allowed Waldholtz to remain free without bail. However, she also required Waldholtz, who is living at his parents' home in Pittsburgh, Pa., to check in daily by phone with an FBI agent and travel only between Pittsburgh and Washington. Waldholtz's passport has been revoked.

It's hard to know whether the strange saga of Rep. Enid Greene Waldholtz (R-Utah) is a profound personal tragedy or an uproarious political farce. Maybe there is no great difference. In the eyes of many here, only a writer of tragedy or slapstick could have invented lead players like this: the earnest first-term congresswoman and her conniving husband with the bogus fortune, caught in a skein of unbridled ambition, false identity and ingenious deceit.

In an emotional "tell-all" appearance that lasted more than 4 1/2 hours, Rep. Enid Greene Waldholtz (R-Utah) on Monday said that blind love made her the innocent dupe of a husband who defrauded her family and possibly financed her 1994 campaign with tainted money. Speaking publicly about the scandal for the first time, Waldholtz also apologized, saying that she had been tricked by her estranged husband into filing false campaign reports and income tax returns.

Joseph P. Waldholtz, the estranged husband of Rep. Enid Greene (R-Utah), is putting the finishing touches on a plea bargain in which he will agree to cooperate in their probe of his wife's election campaigns, according to a source close to the case. But the source, who asked to remain anonymous, said prosecutors would think long and hard before building a case against Greene with Waldholtz's word alone.

Just when I thought only Democrats and welfare mothers have family problems, along comes Republican Rep. Enid Greene Waldholtz of Utah to remind one of the universality of human travail. Despite the most public of commitments to "family values," she was, by her account, deceived by the former executive director of the Utah Republican Party into a tissue-of-lies marriage allegedly involving fraudulent campaign contributions and a massive check-kiting scheme. Her husband, Joseph P.
