Former Louisiana Congressman William Jefferson was allowed to continue his bankruptcy filing this week. A trustee had earlier attempted to make his bankruptcy filing more difficult on the basis that Jefferson should not be allowed to escape certain debts.

The congressman will also face sentencing for corruption charges next month. According to the liquidation filing,  Jefferson and his wife have debts as much as $10 million and face other obstacles as a result of the corruption case.
