From the Associated Press: FBI raids U.S. senator’s home
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Federal agents searched the home of U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens on Monday, focusing on records related to his relationship with an oil field services contractor jailed in a public corruption investigation, a law enforcement official said.
Stevens, 83, has been under a federal investigation for a 2000 renovation project more than doubling the size of his home in Girdwood that was overseen by Bill Allen, a contractor who has pleaded guilty to bribing Alaska state legislators.
Allen is founder of VECO Corp., an Alaska-based oil field services and engineering company that has reaped tens of millions of dollars in federal contracts.
Agents from the FBI and Internal Revenue Service arrived at the senator’s home Monday afternoon, said Dave Heller, FBI assistant special agent. He said he could not comment on the nature of the investigation.
Nothing to see, move along citizens, happens all the time that the FBI and IRS execute search warrants on the property of US Senators. No reason to concern yourself, because the Senator is cooperating which is why a search warrant was obtained. The Senator just managed to get a really good price on the remodel of his vacation home.
There was no cash in the refrigerator, but the fridge and the room it was in were free.
