Via TPM Muckraker, word is burbling through the tubes that Sen. Ted Stevens has been indicted:
The U.S. Justice Department has scheduled a news conference for 1:20 p.m. to make an announcement "regarding a significant criminal matter." The official said the news conference would announce the criminal charges against Stevens that have been returned by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C.
So far the charges are seven counts of making false statements, according to The Washington Post. TPMM has more background here. Last August Terrence Samuel wrote in TAP Online that Stevens' case showed that Rudy couldn't win.
So, Sen. Stevens, is this good news for your career or your reelection chances?
