Sen. Ted Stevens, the longest-serving
Republican senator and a figure in Alaska politics since before
statehood, has been indicted on seven counts of making false
statements.
Stevens, 86, has been dogged by a federal investigation into
whether he pushed for fishing legislation that also benefited his
son, an Alaska lobbyist. Authorities have also scrutinized his ties
to a corrupt oil contractor who paid employees to renovate the
senator's home.
In a statement, Stevens says he has "proudly served this nation
and Alaska for over 50 years." He says it "saddens" him to learn
about the charges, and says he has "never knowingly submitted a
false disclosure form required by law as a U.S. senator."
