Villagomez said he had no ill-motive when he transmitted the letter request of Cruz for an office space to the Office of Personnel Management.
“He wrote a letter to me and the only thing I did was to forward it to the proper agency,” he told Variety.
On March 4, Cruz wrote Villagomez requesting for an office space, saying that Taotao Tano was providing assistance to the local people.
OPM Director Mathilde Rosario assigned an office space for Taotao Tano, but the group was later told to vacate the facility because it was being used as storage facility for evidence by the Attorney General’s Office.
Cruz accused Villagomez of “masterminding” the plot to make Taotao Tano responsible for the disappearance of certain pieces of evidence in the office from the Capital Hill house which is near the office of Washington Rep. Pedro A. Tenorio.
He said Villagomez was also trying to get rid of Gregory “for some personal reasons” because the AG “might have a case against him or he knows something detrimental to his political carrier.”
“Your personal affiliations, connections and relationship with the former Teno administration, including Froilan Tenorio, are evidence that a conspiracy had taken place, and Taotao Tano was the scapegoat,” Cruz said in an e-mail to Villagomez.
Villagomez said “if Cruz interpreted my transmitting Taotao Tano’s letter to OPM as ‘master minding,’ then I did a great job in doing it.”
