"Norquist ...met Abramoff through the College Republicans in the early '80s; he managed Abramoff's successful campaign to become chair of that group. ..."

... Ralph E. Reed, Jr. and Norquist are "implicated in the questionable funneling by Abramoff of more than $4 million of Preston Gates Ellis Native American client funds to back antigambling campaigns run by Reed from 1999 to 2003," Parrish wrote. "In one case involving funds from an Indian casino client, as much as $1.3 million in client funds may have been used to launch a campaign.

... some of the Preston Gates money was allegedly laundered through Norquist's anti-tax group, Americans for Tax Reform, which took a cut. The point was for Abramoff's Native American casino clients to pay for campaigns that would shut out potential competition from state lotteries or new casinos.

... Norquist accompanied Abramoff, Ralph Reed, General Services Administration head David Safavian, and Ohio Rep. Robert Ney on a 2002 golf trip to Scotland in which Abramoff allegedly illegally picked up the costs for Ney and for Safavian, a former Norquist business partner in the firm Janus Merritt Strategies. Norquist raised big bucks for the 2004 Bush re-election.

... Abramoff client Raul Garza, chief of the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas, was allowed to atend a reception with President Bush on May 9, 2001, just days after he gave $25,000 to Norquest's Americans for Tax Reform at Abramoff's direction.

Mr. Norquist organized and attended the May 9 reception in Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House grounds .... Another Abramoff client, a leader of the Louisiana Coushattas tribe, has said he also paid $25,000 and then attended a separate event sponsored by Americans for Tax Reform with Mr. Bush.
