Via Taegan:

Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. (D-IL) is the anonymous Senate Candidate 5 "whose emissaries Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich reportedly claimed offered up to a million dollars to name him to the U.S. Senate," federal law enforcement sources tell ABC News.

Jackson Jr. said this morning he was contacted yesterday by federal prosecutors in Chicago who he said "asked me to come in and share with them my insights and thoughts about the selection process."

However, Jackson claims he is not a target of the investigation.
