Senior Dem staffers called in corruption trial

The Hill reports:

Two senior House staffers have received subpoenas for testimony in the corruption trial against former Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.).

Roberta Hopkins, deputy chief of staff to Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), and Angelle Kwemo, an attorney for Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), notified the House of the subpoenas before the Memorial Day recess. Hopkins and Kwemo had served as Jefferson’s acting chief of staff and legislative director, respectively, as late as December 2008.

Heh.
