His wife, Sandra, aka ‘Sandi’, is accused of filing false tax returns for the years 2006 to 2011.
Jackson Jr. entered Congress in 1995 and resigned last November. Sandi was a Chicago alderman, but resigned last month.
The former congressman said in a statement: “I offer no excuses for my conduct, and I fully accept my responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes I have made.”
Insiders say that Jackson Jr. will most likely plead guilty to avoid an indictment and get a lesser sentence.
The charge against Sandi Jackson carries a maximum of three-year prison sentence.
