Friday, September 22, 2006 Sullivan To Donate Funds From PAC
By WORLD WASHINGTON BUREAU
WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. John Sullivan said Thursday that his campaign will donate to charity funds it received from an Ohio lawmaker who has agreed to plead guilty in an ongoing congressional scandal.
After reviewing records filed with the Federal Election Commission, Sullivan, R-Okla., said the American Liberty PAC, the leadership political action committee of Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, had contributed $1,000 to his election campaign in 2002.
Federal officials announced last week that Ney has agreed to plead guilty in the investigation sparked by activities of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Scheduled to enter the plea in court next month, Ney reportedly has admitted to accepting tens of thousands of dollars worth of improper trips, meals, casino chips and sports tickets while trying to win favors for Abramoff and a foreign aviation firm. He had spent months denying wrongdoing during the probe.
