Let's see, wasn't there some issues with Oklahoma tribal casinos in the Abramoff case??? Hmmm ....
OKLAHOMA CITY - Republican Rep. Ernest Istook (news, bio, voting record) of Oklahoma is the latest congressman giving away campaign donations from lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who is at the center of a federal corruption investigation.
Istook, a Republican running for governor, described Abramoff as a "minor donor" to his congressional campaign.
"I was not involved in any of his dealings and I certainly have done nothing wrong," Istook told The Associated Press.
Abramoff represented Indian tribes that rolled millions of dollars in casino income into congressional campaigns over a five-year period, according to authorities. The Justice Department is investigating whether trips, gifts and campaign donations arranged by Abramoff were in exchange for official acts by Congress members and whether the tribes were defrauded.
