The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Huidobro, Jackson and Nayak all dined together on Oct. 8, 2008 — the same day that Nayak has told authorities he had a key conversation with Jackson about the Senate appointment, sources said. The three then ended up at Ozio, the restaurant and club where Huidobro works and where Jackson has held fund-raisers.
Huidobro told authorities she knew nothing of Jackson's political dealings regarding the Senate seat, according to sources. She also said she flew to Chicago on several occasions at Jackson's request and that Jackson sometimes reimbursed her for her travels.
Nayak told the FBI that he paid for two airline trips for Huidobro from Washington to Chicago in 2008.
A spokesman for Jackson declined to comment Monday.
Reached Tuesday on his cell phone, Jackson said: "I have nothing to say. Call my office. Have a good day."
Is Jesse Jackson Jr. sort of a John Edwards?
