Alaska Senator Stevens Indicted on Seven Counts
Federal grand jury charges Ted Stevens with seven felonies for concealing more than a quarter of a million dollars in home renovations and gifts from VECO Corp, an oil services contractor. The indictment stems from an FBI probe that shook Alaska politics and cites false disclosures between 1999 and 2006. Stevens, 84, denies the accusations as Don Young faces reelection amid a tight Senate majority.
