Philadelphia prosecutor to be charged in $160k gifts probe

The city's top prosecutor will be charged in a corruption case Tuesday after a nearly two-year investigation by the FBI, IRS and others, according to a law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation.

The investigation into embattled Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams has centered on $160,000 in gifts that the Democrat failed to report, including a new roof, a $2,700 couch and luxury vacations.

The law enforcement official wasn't authorized to release the information ahead of a Tuesday afternoon news conference and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
