http://www.adn.com/ted-stevens/story/554353.htmlWASHINGTON -- Even as Sen. Ted Stevens' trial approaches a likely end this week, federal prosecutors are still attempting to gather more evidence, including correspondence between the Alaska senator and his wife, Catherine, as well as e-mails she may have sent to 34 others about their home renovation and gifts the senator may have received.
The federal subpoena to Catherine Stevens' law firm, dated Sept. 15, became public over the weekend when Stevens' legal team asked the judge in the case to prevent the government from obtaining thousands of documents from the law firm, Mayer Brown.
Prosecutors are also looking for communications between her and anyone with a U.S. Senate e-mail address, as well as documents relating to anything of value given or provided to Stevens, his wife or his daughter, Lily. That includes "any documents relating to diamond earrings," according to the motion.
But Stevens' defense team doesn't want them turned over, accusing prosecutors of going on a fishing expedition ..........
