WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley isn't expected to face charges after a lengthy investigation into his lurid messages to underage congressional pages, two federal law enforcement officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.

House officials said they did not find any sexually explicit photos in a review of some e-mails Foley sent and received through his congressional account, but the e-mails did not include all of Foley's communications.
Some may have been deleted from the main congressional computer server but would likely still have been accessible from an examination of the actual computer hard drives.

Craig said Thursday that the Senate Ethics Committee has approved his request to form a legal expense fund to help pay the costs associated with his effort to withdraw his guilty plea on a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge.
Craig's legal expense fund, called Fund for Justice, is disclosed in papers filed with the Senate's Office of Public Records.

Jury selection begins Monday for Stevens' trial, in which prosecutors will try to prove that the veteran lawmaker illegally concealed gifts he received from executives of Alaska-based oil and gas services company VECO Corp. over a period of seven years.
