Abramoff Attorney Threatens to “Name Names” At Sentencing Hearing

HeadlineMar 08, 2006

This update on the case of indicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff — a federal judge has rejected a request to delay his sentencing because imprionsonment could derail his cooperation in several ongoing criminal investigations. Abramoff was ordered to return for sentencing on March 29th. Abbe Lowell, Abramoff’s attorney warned the court he may reveal details of the government’s investigations at his client’s sentencing. Lowell said: “We will name names. We will provide the public with evidence of what is going on out there. It seems to me that is not in the interest of law enforcement.”
