Last night, the FBI raided the Congressional office of Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA), the New York Times reports. The bureau has already raided Jefferson’s homes in Washington and New Orleans.
Jefferson is suspected of agreeing to do favors for companies in exchange for money and stock. The lawmaker has vowed not to resign, even if he is indicted. Last week, the long-dormant House ethics committee announced it would get busy on a probe of Jefferson.
