Feeney forms legal defense fund
By Susan Crabtree - June 22, 2007
http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/feeney-forms-legal-defense-fund-2007-06-22.htmlRep. Tom Feeney (R-Calif.) has established a legal expense trust to pay for expenses associated with an FBI review of his ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. ...
“Rep. Feeney considers this an embarrassing episode in his 17-year career as an elected official and an expensive lesson for him as a public servant,” according to a written statement Feeney’s office released at the time. “The Justice Department has contacted Rep. Feeney to request more information regarding this matter and he is pleased to voluntarily cooperate.”
Feeney was cited as “Representative #3” in a Department of Justice document charging Mark Zachares, a former House aide, with helping Abramoff in his conspiracy to defraud the public.
In the document, Feeney was mentioned as attending the same 2003 golfing trip to Scotland as Zachares. Former GOP Reps. Tom DeLay (Texas) and Bob Ney (Ohio), who both resigned last year, also traveled to Scotland with Abramoff on separate trips.
