White House Docs Show More Abramoff VisitsOK, revise that — Jack Abramoff visited the White House at least twice, but had at least six additional appointments there, according to Secret Service records.
This just out from Judicial Watch, the group that sued for the records of Jack Abramoff’s visits. Back in May, the Secret Service responded to the suit (which was filed after the agency failed to respond to a FOIA) with records showing only two visits by Abramoff.
But now, after Judicial Watch continued to press their suit, the Secret Service has released more records showing appointments for Abramoff:
The first set of documents released to Judicial Watch on May 10 indicated that Abramoff only made two visits to the White House on March 6, 2001 and January 20, 2004. The new documents show an additional seven data entries concerning Abramoff appointments on the following dates: March 1, 2001; March 6, 2001; April 20, 2001; May 9, 2001; May 17, 2001; December 7, 2001; and December 10, 2001. According to the cover letter accompanying the documents, “The…data reflect appointments involving Jack Abramoff, but do not necessarily reflect actual visits to the White House Complex.”
