“Lawmaker Wins Delay on Review of Evidence”

The NY Times offers this report, which begins: “A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Justice Department cannot begin reviewing documents and other evidence seized from the Congressional offices of Representative William J. Jefferson, a Louisiana Democrat at the center of a corruption investigation, until he is given a chance to review the material and return to court to argue that it should be kept from prosecutors.” For more details, see this post by Lyle Denniston of Scotusblog. Thanks to Steven Hueffner for the pointer.
