Senator Gary Hart was the leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1987. Thompson liked Hart both as a person and a politician. In April of 1987, however, a fundraiser for Hart was raided by federal marshals, who seized $30,000. In May, the fundraising scandal was quickly followed by a sex scandal when Senator, Joe Tydings of Maryland, who believed Hart was sleeping with his wife, sent private investigators to follow him. The result..... Hart was having sex with numerous women..... none of which are his wife.
