WASHINGTON — Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff says his lifestyle of trading favors for expensive gifts crossed the line, even by Washington standards, but he says he’s not a bad man.
Abramoff is scheduled to be sentenced today. In a letter to the judge Wednesday, he apologized for his crimes.
Abramoff is asking for a lenient prison sentence that could result in his being released by 2009. He has spent countless hours working with the FBI, providing information about the lawmakers and Capitol Hill aides he corrupted with skybox tickets, lavish meals and golf junkets.
