The sources declined to outline the specifics of the investigation, but said that it was financial in nature and linked to Peterson’s gambling problem.

At least she had the decency to do that. Not the case for many other garbage politicians.

Nah. She lied and resigned because she thinks it will help her defense. She is one of the worst and a political animal to the core. Claiming depression and gambling addiction. When she gets convicted, the defense will drag out Evil Gaming, which she voted for, as the cause of her transgressions.

Longtime state Sen. Karen Carter Peterson, who announced her resignation abruptly Friday and attributed it to depression and a chronic gambling addiction, is the subject of a federal investigation, according to sources with knowledge of the probe.

Don't forget the White patriarchy trying to take down a strong black woman who spoke truth to power. The media will soon make her a martyr.

I robbed a bank due but it was due to my depression and addiction.

No doubt - the DA office and City Council have scumbags under indictment or already convicted

Didn't she get into some trouble a few years ago for trespassing or something b/c she had voluntarily blackballed herself from the casinos?

Gambling addiction is one of the worst in that he can destroy your life the fastest of any other addiction and "gambling" isn't as easily defined as a specific drug or act.

That Bell Ringer job at Norte Dame will come available in a couple of years and she wants to make sure she’s on the list.

Calculated move on her part, she is making herself out to be a victim and preserve her legacy so she can run for office again after the Feds are done with her. With her out of public office now there will be far less controversy attached compared to if she had clung to office.

She was also addicted to being a mean, vindictive bitch from most accounts.

She had only introduced one bill thus far during the current legislative session, and has a history of not showing up to vote for legislation. She’s worthless.
