Listings for Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s (D-Ill.) Dupont Circle home have been removed from public view.
After news broke on Wednesday that Jackson's house was put up for sale, an online tour of the house and a public listing on a real estate website were both taken down. The Multiple Listing Services (MLS) listing for the house was removed on Wednesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday. A spokesman for Jackson Jr. told the Chicago paper that the listing had been made private. Similarly, a virtual tour of the house on YouTube was taken down after news broke that the house was up for sale on Wednesday.
On Wednesday news broke that the Illinois congressman had put the house up for sale on Sept. 8 in order to help pay for medical bills he owed as a result of receiving treatment for Bipolar II mood disorder.
The house listing sparked speculation that the congressman would not run for reelection. But Jackson has maintained that he plans to run for another term.
Jackson took a leave of absence from Congress on June 10, initially saying he was suffering from exhaustion but later explaining that he had been hospitalized for mood disorder. Jackson first received treatment in Arizona and then later moved to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. He returned to Washington in early September but has not yet appeared on Capitol Hill.
