Wilson said that Jefferson didn't do much to help Global Environmental Energy, but said he was helpful with another firm she had invested with, ERHC Energy, a small Houston-based firm. The Houston company won offshore oil development contracts off the Nigeria and Sao Tome and Principe coasts

Last year, the company's Houston offices were raided by the FBI, but Justice Department officials have declined to say whether the raid was related to the Jefferson investigation.

In December, an attorney for Allison Anadi, a Southern University criminal justice professor, said that Anadi testified before the Virginia grand jury and was asked about a World Conference of Mayors meeting in Nigeria in 2001. Jefferson was a participant at the meeting, according to news coverage in the Nigerian newspaper, The Guardian.

During the meeting, the mayors discussed a proposed power plant and refinery in the Nigerian state of Akwa Ibom, according to the Nigerian news reports. A company called Chasewood Consortium had the rights to develop that project, although financing apparently fell through.

Chasewood was listed as a partner with Global Environmental Energy Corp. in several Global news releases.

Jefferson's attorney, Bob Trout, did not return phone calls seeking comment.
