Jim Black reported to U.S. marshals this afternoon.

The former House speaker got out of the back door of a gray Honda minivan at 1:48 p.m. at the Terry Sanford Federal Building in Raleigh, the Charlotte Observer reports.

Asked whether he was prepared, Black said, "I'm prepared for about anything."

Along with his lawyer, Ken Bell, the Mecklenburg County Democrat walked about 30 yards to the building, ignoring other questions. 

He faces a hearing in state court in Raleigh tomorrow on corruption charges.
