![Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA)[Matt Rourke/AP]](https://i1.wp.com/www.washingtoninformer.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/120301_chaka_fattah_ap_328.jpg?ssl=1)
(Philly.com) – Chaka Fattah has grown accustomed to the sound of footsteps.
Federal prosecutors have been following the longtime Philadelphia congressman for eight years – subpoenaing his emails and congressional records, auditing his nonprofits and flipping his political confidants – as they seek to build a corruption indictment against him.
Fattah, 58, has been tapping his campaign war chest to cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. He’s in a “safe” district, so he doesn’t need the campaign money to, ya know, campaign.
But now, the footsteps could be getting louder.
