Oct. 16, 2006 -- Just this weekend we learned that the FBI was investigating the relationships between Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) and his daughter's lobbying clients.

From The Philadelphia Inquirer:
Federal agents raided the home of the daughter of U.S. Rep. Curt Weldon (R., Pa.) this morning. The agents departed Karen Weldon's three-story brick home on Queen Street in Philadelphia with arms loaded with boxes.
A government car pulled into the alley to the back door of the house and loaded boxes into it. Three agents standing in an alley declined to identify themselves.
