Mr. Traficant tended to ignore the legislative initiatives of his nominal party, the Democrats, and in 2001 voted for Illinois Republican J. Dennis Hastert as House speaker. The Democratic leadership then stripped Mr. Traficant of his seniority and took away his committee assignments.

 

By then, several of his associates has been convicted in a sweeping corruption investigation, and it was widely suspected that Mr. Traficant was next in line.

 

โ€œHeโ€™s acting as his own attorney,โ€ his press secretary once said, โ€œand his attorney has advised him not to comment.โ€

 

In 2002, Mr. Traficant was indicted on 10 felony counts of racketeering, bribery and fraud. Federal prosecutors charged that he required several of his congressional aides to pay him monthly kickbacks of as much as $2,500 for the privilege of being on the government payroll. Other staff members were expected to bale hay on his farm or repair his houseboat, which was docked in Washington. He was also accused of filing false tax returns and of soliciting businesses in his district to provide free goods and services.

 

After a two-month trial in Cleveland, in which Mr. Traficant argued in his own defense, he was convicted of all 10 charges.

 

On July 24, 2002, Mr. Traficant became only the fifth member of the House, and the second since the Civil War, to be expelled from Congress. The vote was 420-1.
