Investigators Probing Abramoff's Finances Have Found That Some Money Meant for His Charity Went to Fight the Palestinian IntifadaSunday April 24, 11:00 am ET
NEW YORK, April 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Newsweek has learned that investigators probing supperlobbyist Jack Abramoff's finances have found some of the money meant for a charity he started for inner-city kids went instead to fight the Palestinian intifada. In 2002 alone, records show, three Indian tribes donated nearly $1.1 million to the Capital Athletic Foundation. The group of Indian tribes had hired Abramoff to protect their interests in Washington, after they opened up lucrative gaming casinos. Donating to the fund had a side benefit, Abramoff told his clients: it was a favored cause of Rep. Tom DeLay.
