Sen. Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law is the mystery witness who raised $100,000 for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and then went undercover and wore a wire to help the feds nab one of her top moneymen on charges of fund-raising-fraud, The Post has learned. The witness, Ray Reggie, 43, has a sister, Victoria, who married Kennedy in 1992, and prosecutors say Reggie secretly recorded "incriminating" statements made by David Rosen, a top Clinton fund-raiser. Reggie was close enough to Bill and Hillary Clinton to sleep over at the White House in 2000 and stay up chatting with the first couple into the...

A Democratic fund-raiser involved in Senator Clinton's 2000 campaign has offered a guilty plea to bank fraud charges and is likely to become a government witness at the upcoming federal trial of a top finance aide to Mrs. Clinton, David Rosen, court records obtained by The New York Sun show. As part of an FBI investigation into alleged campaign finance reporting violations by Mrs. Clinton's campaign, the mystery witness secretly taped a conversation with Mr. Rosen in September 2002 and apparently tried to elicit statements from the former Clinton staffer about financial irregularities involving an August 2000 Hollywood fund-raising event....

Ray Reggie, a businessman and Democratic operative with close ties to prominent politicians ranging from former President Clinton and U.S. Sen.

That company, Media Direct LLC, is at the heart of the charges filed Wednesday in parallel bills...

SOVO BLOG Ex-NFL star, anti-gay preacher, dies Former NFL star Reggie White died on Sunday at the age of 43. He was one of the National Football League's top defensive players for a decade. He was also a minister, which led to his nickname, the Minister of Defense. And, White made certain everyone knew his thoughts about gay people. White was invited to give a speech to the Wisconsin Legislature in 1998. Here are some of the highlights of that speech: White said the United States has gotten away from God, in part by allowing homosexuality to "run rampant." Homosexuality...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--He was a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, was elected to the Pro Bowl a record 13 straight times, set a Super Bowl record with three sacks and retired in 2000 as the NFL's all-time leader in sacks.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - NFL great Reggie White may have died because of a respiratory disease combined with other health problems, a preliminary autopsy report said Monday. White most likely had a condition that affected the amount of air his lungs could hold, resulting in "fatal cardiac arrhythmia," said Dr. Mike Sullivan, the medical examiner for Mecklenburg County and a forensic pathologist. The report issued by Sullivan's office also said sleep apnea may have been a factor. The report is a preliminary one; determining a final cause of death could take up to three months, Sullivan's office said. White died...

Republican Voter Drive Heads to MTV Tue Mar 23, 6:55 PM ET By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - For young Americans who care more about G-Unit than the GOP, choosing their favorite music videos on MTV's "Total Request Live" may be as close as they've come to the democratic process. Republicans are hoping to change that by sending their voter registration truck Thursday to two places where Republicans are usually in short supply: MTV and Times Square. The National Republican Committee's Reggie the Registration Rig is scheduled to visit the "TRL" studio, where the current contest between President...
