Jesse Jackson was at the centre of 2 scandals yesterday as reports emerged that he tried to pay for a U.S. senate seat and also that he was involved in a relationship with another woman, when he has a wife. He denies he ever tried to buy a senate seat and says the relationship issue was a matter him and his wife dealt with some time ago.
The story claims that during a meeting October 8, 2008, Congressman Jackson had asked political moneyman Raghuveer Nayak to raise millions in exchange for an appointment to Barack Obama's vacated seat. Nayak reportedly told the FBI he bought round-trip airplane tickets for Huidobro. The revelation is providing political fodder for Jackson's congressional opponent and could harm his political future. As for his relationships, his office released a statement saying, "The reference to a social acquaintance is a private and personal matter between me and my wife that was handled some time ago. I know I have disappointed some supporters and for that I am deeply sorry."
