Records of Jack Abramoff's White House Visits
Read it all here

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Secret Service has agreed to turn over White House visitor logs that will show how often convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff met with Bush administration officials - and with whom he met.

Administration officials have refused to say how many times Abramoff, who raised at least $100,000 for President Bush's re-election, has been to the White House. Bush has said he doesn't know Abramoff. Abramoff was a $100,000 fundraiser for Bush and lobbying records obtained by the AP show his lobbying team logged nearly 200 meetings with the administration during its first 10 months in office on behalf of one of his clients, the Northern Mariana Islands.

Bush's spokesman has said Abramoff attended ``a few staff-level meetings'' at the White House, as well as Hanukkah receptions in 2001 and 2002.

The president has said he does not know Abramoff personally. When a photo of Bush with Abramoff surfaced earlier this year, the president said he has his picture taken with ``a lot of people.'' In the 2001 photo, Bush is shaking hands with a leader of an Indian tribe. Abramoff is in the background.
The contacts between Abramoff's team and the administration included meetings with Attorney General John Ashcroft and policy advisers to Vice President Dick Cheney, the AP reported last year.

I want to give credit to the Kickapoo Chairman, Raul Garza of Texas, who turned in the photo.
