From the Anchorage Daily News:

Federal law enforcement agents are currently searching the Girdwood home of Alaska U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens, an FBI agent said.

“All I can say is that agents from the FBI and IRS are currently conducting a search at that residence,” said Dave Heller, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Anchorage office. The search began this afternoon, he said.

That’s the same home, of course, that was doubled by a renovation undertaken in 2000 — the contractor, curiously, was Veco, the corrupt oil company. Veco, prosecutors have pointed out “was not in the business of residential construction or remodeling.” And that’s not all that’s curious about the renovation.
