The Greenberg Traurig law firm has forced out its biggest Washington rainmaker amid controversy over tens of millions of dollars in fees charged to four Indian tribes over the past several years.
Jack Abramoff, a Republican lobbyist and fund-raiser with close ties to powerful House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, resigned on Tuesday at the request of the firm. He was the head of Greenberg's Washington lobbying office.
"Greenberg Traurig has accepted Jack Abramoff's resignation from the firm, effective today," the firm said in a statement. "Last Friday, Feb. 27, Mr. Abramoff disclosed to the firm for the first time personal transactions and related conduct which are unacceptable to the firm."
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Rep. Frank R. Wolfe, R-Va., have called for a congressional investigation of the fees.
Read the story. Tons of money, mostly going to Republicans. There's even a homicide possibly involved somehow to Abramoff. McCain, senior Republican on the Indian Affairs Committee, hopes to have Senate hearings into Abramoff's dealings with Indian tribes. Abramoff is also one of Bush's "pioneers".
