[On October 13, 2006, it was reported in the media that the Justice Department was investigating whether(Republican Congressman) Weldon illegally traded his political influence for lucrative lobbying and consulting contracts for his daughter. This represents a more serious investigation following on the heels of an FBI probe, ongoing for the past several months, into similar charges. Three days later, FBI agents raided his daughter’s home as well as five other locations of associates of Weldon in the Philadelphia area and in Jacksonville, Florida. On October 18, 2006, The Washington Post reported that a grand jury had been impaneled as part of the investigation.[6] However, there has been no evidence of any improprieties and the House Ethics Committee cleared Congressman Weldon of any wrongdoing in a 2005 hearing.] —Wikepedia
The FBI raids came less than a month before voters were to decide whether to reelect Rep. Weldon. He lost the election
