Young was actually quite good throughout the interview. A pleasant surprise. Now, if Wolf had interviewed Julian Bond . . .

The statement from U.S. Representative William Jefferson (D-LA) was short and to the point.
"Today, federal law enforcement officers executed search warrants on my Washington, D.C. and New Orleans homes as well as my vehicle in Washington. Subpoenas were issued to me, in my official capacity, to the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives and to members of my Washington and New Orleans office staff. I do not know the extent or precise nature of this investigation but I am cooperating fully with the authorities."
The federal authorities are not talking about the reason(s) for the warrants. However, there is speculation that the search specifically relates to “ Operation Wrinkled Robe”, a federal investigation involving Jefferson’s brother-in-law Judge Alan Green who was recently convicted.
