Search of Congressman Jefferson's Office:

The [1]AP reports:
A federal appeals court on Friday barred the Justice Department
from reviewing evidence seized from a Louisiana congressman's
office during an unprecedented FBI raid on his Capitol Hill office
in May.
A three-judge panel ordered a federal trial judge to ensure that
Democratic Rep. William Jefferson be given copies of seized
evidence ... [so that Jefferson has the chance] to invoke
legislative privilege claims in private with the trial judge.
Thanks to [2]Ron Coleman (Dean's World) for the pointer.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the opinion on the D.C. Circuit site,
findlaw, WESTLAW, or LEXIS, so don't have anything more to say about
it yet.
