Businessman and political fundraiser Raghuveer P. Nayak is Individual D in the federal complaint, sources said. Individual D was being squeezed by the governor for campaign cash, according to prosecutors, in order to appoint Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) to the Senate seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.
Investigators appeared at Nayak's home in Oak Brook, a Chicago suburb, the morning the FBI arrested Blagojevich, the sources said. Federal agents that day contacted a number of people connected to the case.
Nayak has not been accused of wrongdoing.
He declined to comment for this article.

He should seek a food-taster as well.
“How much longer will that thing hold?”
It only has to last until Jan. 20th and then 0 makes the whole thing disappear.
I am afraid you are right.
I'm starting to think Rahm and Obama are behind the whole thing and are trying to get JJ Jr. thrown to the wolves. We will know when the dust settles if Jarrett ends up with the Senate seat.
You need Sgt. Schultz as Obama...”I know NOTHING”!!
Yeah, it’s delish. (See my tagline).
Individual D has made almost 800 grand in contributions to just about everyone there, including Hussein, Lisa Madigan and JJJr. Let him talk and for Pete’s sake, give him the immunity.
Come on, John Kass, tell us what you think about all this.
bttt
There's at least one tiny little hole in the dike.
Well, that rules Rosie O'Donnell out...
“The congressman has acknowledged speaking with Nayak about his desire for the Senate seat but said he was not aware of a fundraising effort to support his bid.
Jackson’s lawyer, James Montgomery Sr., reacted to the news of Nayak’s bid for immunity by saying, “If that is indeed the case, and if that cooperation relates to my client, then [Nayak] is trying to save his own skin. That’s all I have to say.”
Right, because Nayak would give $1,000,000 for Jackson to get a seat for no good reason except the kindness of his heart. Jackson was just as surprised as anyone at this fortunate circumstance of someone willing to pay $1,000,000 to get him a Senate seat!
