Pelosi Statement on New Report on Jack Abramoff’s Attempts to Influence White House Officials
Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today in response to a bipartisan report released from the House Government Reform Committee that former lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s ties with the Bush White House were far more extensive than originally described:
"For months, White House officials have refused to be straight with the American people about Jack Abramoff. Now we know the truth: a disgraced lobbyist traded perks and campaign contributions for special access to the Bush White House.
"The American people deserve better. The Republican culture of corruption is so entrenched in Washington that the Republicans cannot bring themselves to pass lobby reform legislation even in the face of these extraordinary scandals. It’s clearly time for a new direction to restore integrity to Congress."
“ Democrats are united in presenting a New Direction for America, one that will make our nation as strong as its people, one that brings opportunity, security, and prosperity to all Americans. ”
