Lobbyist Jack Abramoff had a high-ranking White House pal whom he asked favors of as the media began revealing details of his shady business ventures, according to e-mails released by the White House under FOIA to news organizations, including the Los Angeles Times. Abramoff visited the White House at least twice, according to documents the conservative nonpartisan group Judicial Watch obtained through FOIA.
