WASHINGTON (AP) - Convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff's billing records and e-mails listed 485 lobbying contacts with White House officials over three years, including 10 with top Bush administration aide Karl Rove, according to a congressional report obtained Thursday.
The large number of contacts were only from Abramoff's records, and did not mean they brought favorable responses. In fact, Abramoff's team on numerous occasions did not get what it wanted and results overall were mixed, according to the draft report by the House Government Reform Committee.
The report the documents include e-mails that Abramoff sent to Rove or calls that Abramoff said he placed to Rove, but there is "no evidence that Rove responded by e-mail or by phone," the report said.
