Frist dismisses controversy over search of congressman's off

WASHINGTON (AP) ? While House members are still angry about an FBI search of a congressman's office, the Senate's leader says the controversy has been "pretty much put to bed."
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said Sunday he had talked the issue over with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and concluded that the FBI acted appropriately.

"I don't think it abused separation of powers," Frist said on Fox News Sunday. "I think there's allegations of criminal activity, and the American people need to have the law enforced."

Frist, R-Tenn., was responding to the search conducted May 20-21 in the office of Rep. William Jefferson, D-La.

FBI agents carted away computer and other records in their pursuit of evidence that Jefferson accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for helping set up business deals in Africa.

It was the first time in the history of Congress that a warrant had been used to search a lawmaker's office.

so when is he going to be arrested?
