ALEXANDRIA, VA. -- The lead FBI agent in the investigation of former Rep. William Jefferson denied Wednesday that he had instructed cooperating witness Lori Mody to play on Jefferson's emotions, get him drunk, and lure him into taking a bigger share of her company.
"That's not on her, that's on him, " special agent Timothy Thibault said, explaining that Jefferson continued to escalate his demands for a piece of Mody's business even when he wasn't under the influence of her wiles and wine.
In its redirect, the prosecution played a videotape from the four-hour, $1,023 dinner Mody and Jefferson shared at Galileo, a fancy Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C., on May 12, 2005, to show that it was Jefferson, not Mody, who was questioning the wait staff about the wine choices, and ordering a 1997 vintage.
Thibault was asked by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebeca Bellows how old he thought Jefferson was at the time of the dinner. Thibault replied that he figured Jefferson to have been in his early 60s.
"Old enough, " said Bellows, to decide whether or not to imbibe. Jefferson is now 62.
Food packaging reused
The day ended with the jury being shown photos of the $90,000 in marked money the FBI found about a half hour into their search of Jefferson's Washington, D.C., residence on Aug. 3, 2005. The money, in $10,000 stacks of hundred-dollar bills, was wrapped in tinfoil and stuffed into Boca meatless burger and Pillsbury frozen pie crust boxes, and Yes! Organic Market bags.
The bills represented the lion's share of the money that Mody had delivered to Jefferson on July 30, 2005, and which the FBI had expected Jefferson to use to bribe Atiku Abubakar, then vice president of Nigeria.
According to Thibault's testimony, Jefferson was not continuously under surveillance after receiving the money from Mody because of manpower issues in the bureau.
