Former Rep. James Traficant Jr. (D-OH), “whose career as a colorfully combative congressional gadfly ended in 2002 when he became the fifth House member ever expelled, died Saturday at a hospital in his native Youngstown,” Roll Call reports.
The Vindicator first reported the news just days after Traficant was critically injured when the tractor he was driving at his family farm flipped over.
