"According to federal court documents related to the
case, in a recorded conversation Congressman Jefferson
asked Judge Green to raise money for the congressman´s
daughter, Jalila Jefferson-Bullock, in her 2003 campaign
for the Legislature. Judges are prohibited from raising
money for other political campaigns."
