ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 5 (UPI) -- A federal jury in Virginia Wednesday found former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., guilty of corruption charges.
Jefferson, 62, was indicted in 2007, about two years after government agents found $90,000 in his freezer. The cash was payment from an FBI informant in a transaction captured on video, prosecutors alleged during Jefferson's trial, which began June 16.
