On the legal hot seat, Tim Eyman admits he fibbed to donors [View all]

OLYMPIA — Washington’s ubiquitous initiative promoter Tim Eyman got his chance Wednesday to tell his version of events behind the legal firestorm threatening his political career.

Then, the state’s attorney set about taking apart his story — and elicited a confession from Eyman that he doesn’t always tell the truth when asking supporters for money.

Eyman, a former longtime Mukilteo resident, spent a second day testifying in a Thurston County courtroom for a civil trial in which he stands accused of using his initiative campaigns to enrich himself and violating state campaign finance laws.

He’s expected to wrap up testimony early Thursday. Superior Court Judge James Dixon, who is conducting the bench trial, has yet to set a date for closing arguments. Eyman is being represented by former state Supreme Court Justice Richard Sanders.

Fibbed? He outright fucking lied.
