Alaska's sole member of the U.S. House, Don Young, was named one of the most corrupt members of Congress in CREW's report, Beyond DeLay.

Mr. Young is using campaign funds to pay for his legal fees -- and he's using a lot of campaign funds:

U.S. Rep. Don Young continued to spend thousands of dollars of campaign donations on attorneys through the summer, according to financial reports filed by his campaign on Monday.

The reports, to the Federal Election Commission, show that over the past three months, Young spent $184,708 on legal fees.

That brings Young's total spending on legal advice this year to $446,845.

Young, a Republican who has been Alaska's sole congressman since 1973, has not said what kind of legal work or defense the campaign money is buying. He has been under federal investigation for his ties to Veco Corp., for fundraising activities and for his role in specific congressional earmarks, according to various media reports.
