Anyway, The (New Orleans) Times-Picayune clarifies the situation:
A federal judge on Thursday froze the assets of Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, three days after the congressman was indicted on corruption charges.I WONDER whether the feds are going to have to resort to this to freeze the congressman's financials.
U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III granted the government's request for a restraining order keeping Jefferson from using nearly $500,000 and about 33 million shares of corporate stock prosecutors say he was paid in bribes.
