Louisiana Congressman William Jefferson was indicted today on federal charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes and money-laundering. Readers may recall that back in 2005, the FBI raided Jefferson’s home and found $90,000 in cash in his freezer.
According to the AP, the 63-year-old Democrat maintains his innocence. He was re-elected last year despite the looming investigation.
Back in September, PubDef.net photographed Jefferson in a happier moment, “Electric Sliding” with California Congresswoman (and St. Louis native) Maxine Waters in Washington D.C.
