Jesse Jackson Jr. Under FBI Investigation for Misusing Campaign Money

Congressman allegedly used finances for home decor

Jesse Jackson Jr. allegedly used campaign money improperly to decorate his home. The congressman's campaign finances are now the subject of a federal probe. Jackson and his wife put their Washington, D.C., home on the market last month at a price of $2.5 million. A day after the listing was made public, the couple subsequently took it back off the market, citing a security issue. At the time, a campaign spokesman said the home was listed to pay for mounting medical bills as Jackson reportedly suffers from bipolar depression. He took a medical leave from Congress in June to seek help. (Chicago Sun Times)
