Safavian Jury Reaches Verdict

The jury in the corruption trial of Abramoff crony David Safavian has reached a verdict. We’ll learn later today what it is, reports the Associated Press.

Safavian, who served as the White House’s chief procurement officer, is on trial for allegedly lying to investigators about his relationship with Abramoff.

Safavian was convicted in 2006, but that conviction was overturned on appeal.
