Jackson says son going to Mayo for checkup

CHICAGO – U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who has given no hint of when he’ll return to work four months after taking medical leave, will head back to the Mayo Clinic for a checkup “soon,” his father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, said Sunday.

The Democratic congressman from Illinois was released from the Rochester, Minn., clinic in September after seeking treatment for bipolar disorder and gastrointestinal issues.
