Rajinder Bedi, a prominent businessman in Chicago's Indian community and a former state employee under Rod Blagojevich, testified in court yesterday that he met with Rep. Jesse Jackson in October 2008 to discuss both the congressman's interest in the vacant U.S. Senate seat and how much money Bedi would raise for the governor if he was appointed. Jackson has not been charged in the corruption case and has denied knowledge of or involvement in the alleged scheme.
