More Abramoff Coverage

Here's the NYT and WP coverage of the Abramoff indictment.

The WP also does a "Jack who?" piece.

In the first nine months of 2002, Abramoff collected $12.2 million in fees from Indian tribes and additional sums from the General Council for Islamic Banks and other clients. He spent $232,000 on his personal travel, mostly by chartered jets, and $69,000 for a Passover family vacation.
 
As a Bush "Pioneer," Abramoff also raised more than $100,000 for the president's reelection in 2004. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) was "a very close friend," according to Abramoff's description, as well as a participant in costly trips to Moscow and Scotland arranged and partly subsidized by Abramoff or his clients.

According to a recent NYT story, Rep. Roy Blunt (R-K Street) also had close ties to Abramoff.  Among other ties, Blunt was one of a handful of lawmakers on the comp list at Abramoff's DC restaurant, listed as a FOO-friend of owner.
