A former associate of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff is going to be deposed by the FBI this week, Time Magazine reports.

The FBI is investigating Abramoff and Abramoff's partner Michael Scanlon, two Washington insiders who are accused of bilking tribes out of more than $82 million. A senior FBI official told Time that the probe focuses on "allegations of any wrongdoing involving moneys that went into or left the Indian tribes."

A grand jury in Virginia has been looking into the scandal, according to news reports. In addition, the Senate Indian Affairs Committee and the Senate Finance Committee are investigating Abramoff and Scanlon.
