Jackson Checks Out Of Mayo Clinic, Whereabouts Not Immediately Known

U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-Chicago) checked out of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota today, according to a spokesman for the hospital. But the clinic spokesman added that he didn't know where Jackson went. Jackson's father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, also didn't know where the lawmaker relocated to and the Congressman's spokesman had no comment.

Jackson was at the clinic for treatment of bipolar disorder. He is leaving Mayo a week after re-election, and amid reports this weekend that he is working on a plea deal with the FBI that could result in his resignation and jail time. The FBI is investigating whether Jackson illegally used campaign funds to redecorate his home.
