Email noting relationship with White House came just a month after Bush took office
Convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff told his colleagues at his former law firm that he had an “agreement” regarding
communications with a former assistant to then-Deputy Chief of Staff, Karl Rove, perhaps the most substantial documented
tie between Abramoff and the White House to date.
In the email, dated Feb. 27, 2001, Abramoff reprimands a colleague who asked him to use Susan Ralston – Special
Assistant to the President George W. Bush and then-Bush senior adviser Karl Rove – to arrange a meeting with the
President for one of his clients.
In response, Abramoff writes that Ralston and he have an “agreement with her as to what we are going to ask her and
when.”
