WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick has been subpoenaed before a federal grand jury in Detroit along with a member of her staff.

Kilpatrick, a Detroit Democrat and the mother of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, let House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office know about the summons on Wednesday, as required by House rules. Her spokeswoman, Tracy Walker, would not confirm the subpoena or comment on it when reached Wednesday night.

On Tuesday, Kilpatrick’s office manager in Detroit, Andrea Bragg, let the Speaker’s office know she had been subpoenaed as well before a grand jury. She and Kilpatrick sent the letters to the Speaker’s office on Monday, March 1, but they were not made part of the Congressional Record until this week.

The topic of the subpoenas is not known. Kwame Kilpatrick has been fighting in state court over restitution to be paid on a perjury plea. The Free Press also has reported that a contractor who pleaded guilty in a federal corruption probe has told investigators he handed over bribes to the former mayor in 2002.

1. The whole family has to go

I think Hansen can beat her in the primary. I also heard that Sheila Cockrell may be getting into the primary. I just hope she and Hansen don't split the vote and let CCK in again. Either Hansen or Sheila would be a good replacement.
