PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- For the second day in a row, a former Philadelphia mayor took the stand in the trial of Chaka Fattah Junior.

John Street briefly testifying about his business relationship with the son of longtime Philadelphia Congressman Chaka Fattah Senior.

Fattah Junior is charged with bank and tax fraud, and is representing himself against the charges.

On Friday Street spoke in broad terms about Fattah's role as a photographer in his mayoral campaign.

As he left court, Street told reporters, "Well, nobody ever complained. I was really, really busy. I wasn't supervising or micromanaging him. I was doing what I did and he took a lot of pictures."

On Thursday former mayor and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell also testified.

Fattah Junior claims he's being targeted by rogue FBI agents determined to end his father's career.

Congressman Fattah is also facing separate corruption charges.
