Abramoff Associate Pleads Guilty

Todd Boulanger, a former associate of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, pleaded guilty to corruption charges Friday, admitting that he had handed out tens of thousands of dollars in illegal gifts to congressional staffers who in turn helped push his firm’s lobbying agenda. So far, 17 people have pleaded guilty in the course of the Abramoff investigation, which is still ongoing.
