Federal agents raided the homes of Rep. Curt Weldon's daughter and one of his closest political supporters yesterday as part of an investigation into whether the veteran Republican congressman used his influence to benefit himself and his daughter's lobbying firm, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

The investigation focuses on actions the Pennsylvania congressman took that may have aided clients of the business created by his daughter, Karen Weldon, and longtime Pennsylvania political ally Charles Sexton, according to three of the sources.

A grand jury, impaneled in Washington in May, has obtained evidence gathered over at least four months through wiretaps of Washington area cellphone numbers and has scrutinized whether Weldon received anything of value, according to the sources. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the investigation....

Rep. Weldon said that he never knew who his daughter's clients were. "I've never helped my daughter get anything. My kids are qualified on their own," he said.

Weldon assailed the news reports as politically motivated. He blamed a 2004 complaint filed by the liberal-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which is led by Melanie Sloan, a former prosecutor who also has been a Democratic staff member on the House Judiciary Committee.
That's right Curt!The Republican controlled Justice Department led by Shrub's personal attorney and now AG of the United States, is controlled by the liberal media. Please Curt get a grip.

Curt is currently, sinking for a myriad of reasons chronicled by Michael Scherer , in a tight race against Democrat and ex- Navy admiral Joe Sestak. Weldon at one point led the race by as much as 19%.
RT Strategies/CD 10/08 - 10/10 1017 LV
Weldon (R) 44%
Sestak (D) 52%
Undecided 5%

How long till Curt goes into alchohol rehab or claim to have been molested by a priest.... The countdown begins.
