  • WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid announced Monday he is amending his ethics reports to Congress to more fully account for a Las Vegas land deal that allowed him to collect $1.1 million for property he hadn't personally owned for three years.

    The Nevada Democrat also disclosed he failed to report two other smaller land deals on those same reports.

    Reid acted several days after The Associated Press reported the senator didn't disclose to Congress that he first sold land to a friend's company back in 2001 and took an ownership stake in the company. He didn't collect the seven-figure payout until the company sold the land again in 2004 to others.
