Abramoff Sentencing Date: Early September
In a joint motion filed today, prosecutors and lawyers for Jack Abramoff asked a federal judge to set a sentencing date for the convicted lobbyist in early September. Click here for a copy of the motion.
The parties told U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle that they were “in a position to inform the court about the full scope of his misconduct and cooperation, and that, consistent with the commitments in the plea agreement with Mr. Abramoff, sentencing in the near future in this case is appropriate.”
Abramoff pleaded guilty in January 2006 to mail fraud, conspiracy and tax evasion in a wide-ranging federal public corruption investigation that has snared more than a dozen other officials. He is serving prison time for unrelated charges originating in Florida.
