From CBS Chicago:
A former fundraiser for ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich and former Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. has agreed to plead guilty to health care fraud charges unrelated to his ties to the two disgraced politicians.Technorati tags:Illinois Politics
Raghuveer Nayak was scheduled to enter his guilty plea in federal court Friday afternoon, avoiding a trial that had been set to begin next month, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Nayak, 57, a wealthy Indian-American businessman, allegedly was willing to raise up to $6 million in campaign funds for Blagojevich, in exchange for Jackson being appointed to President Barack Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat after Obama was elected to the White House in 2008. He also admittedly paid to have restaurant hostess Giovanna Huidobro, with whom Jackson was having an affair, flown between Chicago and Washington, D.C. on two occasions.
