Jesse Jackson Jr. spotted drinking in D.C. bar: report

Updated: October 15, 2012 4:41PM



Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has been spotted out at a Washington D.C. bar two nights last week, according to Gawker.

Jackson disappeared earlier this summer before it was revealed that he was staying at the Mayo Clinic while seeking treatment for bipolar disorder.

According to Gawker sources, Jackson was drinking at Bier Baron Tavern on Tuesday and Wednesday nights last week. Both nights he was reportedly with different women.

The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday night that a federal probe into the congressman centers on whether Jackson improperly used campaign money to decorate his home.

The Chicago Sun-Times on Friday first reported that Jackson was under federal investigation, a probe that began before he took a leave from Congress in June.
