Body of Wife of Senior White House Official Found in Burning Car

Rosa DeLauro owned the house in which Rahm Emanuel lived rent-free(illegally) during House sessions for five years.

Ashley Turton, as DeLauro's chief of staff, probably wrote the checks to pay bills on that condo and would be privy to "extra" expenses.

“One issue is whether Emanuel, who served in the House with DeLauro until early January (2009), should have listed the room either as a gift or as income on his congressional financial disclosure forms,” Washington-based correspondent Andrew Zajac wrote in the Chicago Tribune on Feb. 24, 2009.
