Abramoff Still Cooperating, Say Feds

For his continued cooperation with federal prosecutors, Jack Abramoff may get another delay in his bribery case.

Lawyers for the government and the disgraced former GOP superlobbyist are asking to postpone for another three months sentencing Abramoff for fraud, tax evasion and conspiracy to corrupt public officials, to which he pleaded guilty more than 18 months ago.

During that time, Abramoff is expected to continue helping the government's investigators "for the foreseeable future," the two groups said in their request to U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle. The delay would be the fourth so far in Abramoff's bribery case and would push his sentencing date at least into December.

A delay wouldn't keep Abramoff out of jail. Since last November, he has already been serving a five-year, 10-month sentence in a federal prison in Cumberland, Md., after pleading guilty to separate wire fraud and conspiracy charges. In all, Abramoff is expected to serve between nine and 11 years.
