Bromwell was chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee when an undercover FBI agent recorded the conversations in November 2001. At the time, Bromwell's committee was charged by the Senate president with overseeing gambling legislation. The transcripts are being presented as evidence by the U.S. attorney's office in its case against Bromwell for federal racketeering conspiracy charges.

Bromwell is recorded in the transcripts as calling himself a "whore" on the "Senate side" for Joseph A. De Francis, who was then the Maryland Jockey Club's Chief Executive Officer.
