Ted Stevens still lying low in Congress
Almost three months after being found guilty of seven felony counts of making false statements, virtually assuring his subsequent failed bid for re-election in November, former Sen. Ted Stevens, Alaska Republican, is still lying low in Congress.
A federal jury on Monday found Republican Sen. Ted Stevens guilty on seven counts of lying about thousands of dollars of gifts and home renovations on his financial disclosure forms, a verdict that ended in disgrace the four-decade Senate career of a man whose imprint on Alaska dates to before its statehood.
