More Bush-Abramoff ties
Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff had hundreds more contacts with top White House officials than those Bush administration officials had previously acknowledged, according to a congressional report to be released today.
The report by the House Government Reform Committee said the panel found about 485 contacts between Abramoff and his associations and the White House, including 10 with Karl Rove.
The committee based its findings on 14,000 pages of e-mails and billing records spanning three years ending in 2003.
The White House challenged the credibility of the report, saying it was based on material originally generated by Abramoff. Abramoff and associates have pleaded guilty to conspiracy, fraud and related crimes in an influence-peddling scandal that reachedinto Congress. -Reuters
