Lawmaker in DeLay Inquiry Tied to Lobbyist
Lawmaker in DeLay Inquiry Tied to Lobbyist - Yahoo! News: "The lawmaker who will head a House inquiry into trips that lobbyist Jack Abramoff arranged for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has his own links to the lobbyist.
At one point, Abramoff touted Rep. Doc Hastings (news, bio, voting record)' relationship with his firm in a pitch to a prospective client.
As chairman of the House ethics committee, Hastings, R-Wash., could play a big role in determining DeLay's future. DeLay has asked the panel to review his travels, which include trips arranged by Abramoff when the lobbyist worked for the Seattle-based Preston Gates firm."
