NBC Chicago – Jesse Jackson Jr. already faces sentencing for one legal problem, but he could face another.
Jackson apparently hasn’t filed a financial disclosure report, according to the Chicago Tribune. That’s required from members of Congress who leave the House, and those who don’t file could be fined up to $50,000.
The former congressman’s sentencing is scheduled for July 1. He pleaded guilty in February to misusing $750,000 in campaign money and could get up to nearly five years in prison.
Prosecutors said Jackson spent thousands of campaign dollars on fan memorabilia, including $4,000 on a Michael Jackson and Eddie Van Halen guitar. Other charges included more than $4,000 for a cruise, $2,300 at Walt Disney World and $5,600 at a spa on Martha’s Vineyard.
