Congressman in Abramoff probe says he won't resign
By David Whitney
McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON - Rep. John Doolittle, bucking pundits in The Wall Street Journal, The Sacramento Bee and other newspapers, said Thursday that he wouldn't resign his seat in the House of Representatives because investigators were looking at his wife and him in the ramped-up federal corruption investigation arising out of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal.

"There is no way I am stepping down," Doolittle declared in a telephone news conference with California reporters. "I am not resigning. Absolutely not."

The California Republican suggested that the Abramoff investigation soon could spread even wider.

Doolittle said he had information from sources he wouldn't name that federal agents had executed search warrants recently against two other members of Congress - a Republican and a Democrat - in raids that hadn't become public yet. He said he thought that those raids were related to the Abramoff probe.

The Justice Department refuses to comment on the investigation, not even acknowledging that the FBI raided the Doolittles' house last month.
