Sen. Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law is the mystery witness who raised $100,000 for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and then went undercover and wore a wire to help the feds nab one of her top moneymen on charges of fund-raising-fraud, The Post has learned.
The witness, Ray Reggie, 43, has a sister, Victoria, who married Kennedy in 1992, and prosecutors say Reggie secretly recorded "incriminating" statements made by David Rosen, a top Clinton fund-raiser.
Reggie was close enough to Bill and Hillary Clinton to sleep over at the White House in 2000 and stay up chatting with the first couple into the wee hours.
Sources tell The Post that he is the "cooperating witness" — described but not named in recent court papers — and that he is likely to testify at Rosen's May 3 trial as part of a plea deal struck with federal prosecutors.
The well-connected Reggie stayed undercover for nearly 21/2 years, helping the feds on multiple probes, and was still wearing a wire and making secret tapes as recently as last December, federal documents show.
Reggie hobnobbed at the very top Democratic levels. A month after he'd raised $100,000 for Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign in 2000, Bill Clinton invited him to a state dinner for the king of Morocco — and a sleepover at the White House.
Reggie told The Times-Picayune of New Orleans that he and his wife later got a post-midnight knock on their bedroom door. The Clintons had come to chat.
Yesterday, Reggie, a Democratic campaign consultant who worked for both Clintons and for Al Gore, pleaded guilty in New Orleans to unrelated multimillion-dollar bank-fraud charges.

Maybe he'll be in the same cell as his father.
Victoria's father is in prison or at least was in prison.
I got my giggle du jour from your reply...Thanks!
He pled guilty to bank fraud and bank fraud CONSPIRACY.....wonder who he conspired WITH!
More like a Booby Prize would be in order. LOL.
Talk about a "crime family."
Yep. I agree.
OMG! Victoria Reggie kennedy is a BANKING attorney and her father and brother FRAUDED BANKS!!! Wonder who taught them how to almost get by with it??? Geesh....unfreakingbelievable!
They are innocent I tall ya
I apologize for giving out bad info. The father Reggie did NOT go to prison...he had home confinement because he was so damned well connected to all the other ccorrupt Dem judges.
I've been wondering about the photo-ops with Bush/Billy. I'm looking forward to hearing more about the tapes. Hope the average dem. voter sees the Clintons for who they really are.
Good thing there was never a "I do not recall" drinking game during the Clinton years. We would have all needed AA afterwards!
(Sniffle) Gosh, you are so "tolerant and compassionate" (sob).
Indeed, I can understand the MSM burying this story, but for some inexplicable reason, even DRUDGE is completely ignoring this bombshell.
How come Drudge? What gives, huh???
.
Home confinement? Was convicted of something, alright.
That will come out with the Clinton Probe.
This was on Rush yesterday and Hannity is hitting it pretty hard today. Dick Morris thinks that Rosen will roll over on Hillary. Hope he doesn't spend any time around Fort Macy Park.
Uh-oh! Look out, Reggie, I smell an arkanside coming your way. BTW, where is your cat?
