Former Obama pastor Jeremiah Wright's daughter faces more legal trouble

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
the daughter of President Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor the Rev. Jeremiah Wright — is in more trouble with the law.

Authorities want to revoke her bail on a money-laundering conviction last year, saying she also stole nearly $8,200 in a separate ghost-payrolling scheme.

Wright, 49, of Hazel Crest, appeared Friday in federal court in Springfield, where a judge heard prosecutors’ arguments to revoke the deal that’s allowed her to remain free on bail as she awaits sentencing, said Sharon Paul, a U.S. attorney’s office spokeswoman. No decision was reached, and the hearing is set to continue Monday afternoon.

Wright is the daughter of the Rev. Wright, whose sermons caused headaches for Obama in his first campaign for president in 2008.
