Abramoff Implicates Harry Reid
Sphere: Related ContentThe Blotter reports that the Feds are going to pay Mr. Senate Majority Leader-Elect a visit:
As convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff reported to federal prison today, a source close to the investigation surrounding his activities told ABC News that Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was one of the members of Congress Abramoff had allegedly implicated in his cooperation with federal prosecutors.
A spokesperson for Reid, elected yesterday as the Senate Majority Leader, said the senator had done nothing illegal or unethical.“We have no idea what Abramoff is telling prosecutors to save his skin, but I do know that these kind of old allegations are completely ridiculous and untrue,” Sen. Reid’s spokesman Jim Manley told ABC News.
What’s there for Abramoff to save? He’s going to prison for God’s sake.
A source close to the investigation says Abramoff told prosecutors that more than $30,000 in campaign contributions to Reid from Abramoff’s clients “were no accident and were in fact requested by Reid.”Abramoff has reportedly claimed the Nevada senator agreed to help him on matters related to Indian gambling.
