PM: Bathroom Visit Official Business?

In this March 6 file photo, former Idaho Sen. Larry Craig, center, chats with state representative Marv Hagadorn, left, with Rep. Raul Labrador, right, and his wife Rebecca at the Ada County Republicans caucus on the campus of Boise State University in Boise. Craig aims to fend off a federal election lawsuit against him by arguing his infamous July 11, 2007, Minneapolis airport bathroom visit that ended in his sex-sting arrest was part of his official Senate business. Craig is hoping to avoid repaying $217,000 in campaign funds the Federal Election Commission claims he misused to defend himself. Story below. (AP/Statesman file photo: Joe Jaszewski)
