As former U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr. prepared to receive his sentence last week, he had a familiar face at his side.
Steptoe & Johnson litigation partner Reid Weingarten represented Jackson when he was a witness in the 2011 retrial of former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. When Jackson faced allegations of misusing campaign money, he called on Weingarten again. Jackson's legal team also included Brian Heberlig, who heads Steptoe's white-collar defense practice, and Harvard Law School professor Charles Ogletree Jr.
