House committee to consider Abramoff report
Thursday, June 12, 2008
Filed Under:
Abramoff Scandal
The
House Oversight and
Government Reform Committee meets today to consider its report on convicted lobbyist
Jack Abramoff.
The
report looked at contacts between the White House and Abramoff's lobbying team. It found that the Bush administration understated the extent of Abramoff's influence.
The committee also looked at a $16.9 million
Department of Justice grant that was awarded to the
Mississippi Band of Choctaw
Indians, who were Abramoff's biggest client. The report was unable to draw firm conclusions due to lack of information.
The business meeting takes place at 10am.
