In Washington, the Bush administration is refusing to reveal details of its meetings with scandal-plagued lobbyist Jack Abramoff. On Tuesday, White House spokesperson Scott McClellan acknowledged Abramoff had “a few staff-level meetings” with White House officials. But he would not say with whom Abramoff met, which interests he was representing or how he got access to the White House, telling reporters: “We are not going to engage in a fishing expedition.” Abramoff pleaded guilty earlier this month to conspiracy, mail fraud and tax evasion as part of a corruption scandal that has implicated several Republican lawmakers and their aides.
