Mathew Barakat, of the Associated Press, reports from the corruption trial of former Rep. William Jefferson, that prosecutors presented video evidence of Jefferson accepting a suitcase containing $100,000.From the article:
The recordings played in U.S. District Court show Lori Mody, a northern Virginia businesswoman who cooperated with an FBI investigation, leading Jefferson to the trunk of a car parked outside the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Pentagon City. Jefferson reaches in, grabs the suitcase and puts it in a small duffel bag. The FBI recorded the handoff from five different angles, and four of those were shown to jurors.
