Alaska's only congressman, Don Young, has been facing numerous ethical scandals for which he is currently facing a federal investigation.   CREW named him one of the most corrupt members of Congress.  Not only using campaign funds to pay his own legal funds, Rep. Don Young is also paying the legal fees of a top staffer:

With an election-year corruption investigation looming, U.S. Rep. Don Young has tapped his campaign war chest to pay not only his own million-dollar legal tab but also to hire lawyers for his campaign manager, who is also under FBI scrutiny.

The Alaska Republican spent more than $35,000 between October and April on lawyers for longtime campaign manager Steven Dougherty. That's more than Dougherty made during that period and nearly as much as the campaign spent on political polling, according to campaign finance reports.

 

The payments, which are legal under federal law as long as they are associated with the candidate's official duties, are another indication of how the FBI investigation has become a drag on the congressman. Instead of coasting to a 19th term, Young is shelling out money to pay his bills and Dougherty's even as he faces a well-funded opponent in August's Republican primary.

 

"With respect to people who have served him and been loyal to him and who have served Alaska, he's been loyal back," said Young's campaign spokesman, Mike Anderson.
