William J. Jefferson

Representative William Jefferson represents Louisiana's 2nd congressional district, which includes much of the greater New Orleans area. He is currently under indictment on bribery charges. $90,000 of the alleged bribe money in cold, hard cash was found in his freezer. If convicted, he will join former Blue Dog Democrat Rep. James Trafacant as a red-assed prison inmate.

It is rumored that Rep. Jefferson and President William Jefferson Clinton are distantly related.
