NPR: Stevens Update

Stevens Update

Ted Stevens (R-AK) has been charged with seven counts of making false statements on his Senate financial disclosure forms from 1999 to 2006. The indictments allege he accepted $250,000 in gifts and renovations on his house in Girdwood, AK from oilfield service company VECO Corp. That house was raided by the FBI last year in an earlier phase of the investigation.

Stevens is the first Senator to be indicted since 1993. He is the longest-serving GOP Senator in U.S. history and is up for re-election this year.
