Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. has made his first brief comments since taking a mysterious leave of absence for health reasons nearly four months ago.
Jackson told a reporter that he is, quote, “not doing well” and continues to see a doctor twice a day for treatment of his ailments.
He was hospitalized over the summer for bipolar disorder and gastrointestinal problems.
Jackson would not comment on reports that he is under federal investigation, reportedly looking into whether he misused campaign funds for personal expenses.
