"George W. Bush was the attraction, and the White House the venue...alleged perpetrator of the largest billing fraud in the history of corporate lobbying. In May 2001, Jack Abramoff’s lobbying client book was worth $4.1 million .... a friend of Karl Rove.. a Bush “Pioneer,” delivering at least $100,000 in bundled contributions...work on the Bush Transition Team as an advisor to the Department of the Interior.
He had sent his personal assistant Susan Ralston to the White House to work as Rove’s personal assistant.
He was a close friend, advisor, and high-dollar fundraiser for... Tom DeLay.
.....
Abramoff was so closely tied to the Bush Administration that he charged his clients $25,000 for a White House lunch date, and meeting with the President. From the same two clients he took to the White House in May 2001, Abramoff also obtained $2.5 million in contributions for a non-profit foundation he and his wife operated....
Abramoff’s White House guests were the chiefs of two of the six casino-rich Indian tribes he and his partner Mike Scanlon ultimately billed $82 million for services tribal leaders now claim were never performed "
