FBI Saturday Night Raid on Rep. William Jefferson's Office
The FBI was busy tonight executing a search warrant at the Congressional office of William Jefferson (D-LA).
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said in a statement that the unusual raid on a Congressional office began about 7:15 p.m., when agents entered Mr. Jefferson's suite of offices in the Rayburn House Office Building, and was being conducted as part of an "ongoing corruption investigation."
An F.B.I. spokesman told the Times it is the first ever raid of a Congressperson's office. Jefferson's lawyer is angry.
