The Senate Indian Affairs Committee will issue a report in the next two months focusing on the relationship between lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his associates with the Indian tribes they represented. The report, however, will not focus on the actions of government officials they sought to influence. The committee's focus means that two years after news of the activities of Abramoff and his allies first came to light, there is no known congressional inquiry into whether lawmakers or administration officials took improper or illegal actions on their behalf. Instead, Congress has effectively ceded this ground to the Justice Department, which has charged one former administration official and is reportedly looking into the actions of several lawmakers. Abramoff recently pleaded guilty to defrauding tribes that had hired him.
