Rep. James Traficant, D-Ohio, arrives on Capitol Hill in Washington, Monday, July 15, 2002, to testify before the House Ethics Committee. In an uphill fight to keep from becoming only the second House member expelled from Congress since the Civil War, Traficant opens his second defense this week against the bribery, tax evasion and racketeering charges he was convicted of in court.
