Alaska Senator Republican Ted Stevens, convicted of seven felonies, is being persistently pressurized by fellow Republicans to step down from the Senate. John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin, have wasted no time in separating their campaign from the “corruption and insider dealing that has become so pervasive in the nation's capital.”
Washington - Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican in the US Senate, was indicted for failing to disclose corporate gifts worth more than 250,000 dollars, the US Justice Department announced Tuesday.
The 84-year-old Alaskan senator had his home raided earlier this year as part of a wide-reaching corruption probe that has already led to charges against a number of other Alaska state legislators and businessmen.
