From the Anchorage Daily News via TPMmuckraker's Daily Muck, news that there has been a second FBI search at the office of State Senate President Ben Stevens. And, yes, Ben Stevens is the son of Alaska's U.S. Senator Ted Stevens. Among other things, the FBI seems interested in Ben's involvement with some legislation that his father got passed in Congress:

FBI agents returned last week to the legislative office of Senate President Ben Stevens and seized more evidence, including a copy of a sworn statement that implicated Stevens in an alleged payment scheme involving fisheries legislation brought by his father, U.S. Sen. Ted Stevens.

"Word of the second search, and what was taken by the FBI, came from Ben Stevens himself, who disclosed the information in a letter to the Daily News dated Sept. 22. In his letter, Stevens denied a request by the newspaper for a copy of any FBI search warrants which may have been served on him or his office, and the government's receipts for items seized. But Stevens provided what he said was a "complete listing of what was obtained from my legislative offices" on Aug. 31 and Sept. 18.

CREW will continue to monitor the developments in Alaska and how the may implicate Washington, DC.
