The Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas gave $50,000 to a charity that it didn't know was run by Jack Abramoff, council members said.

The tribe gave the money to the Capital Athletic Foundation after being asked by the Tigua Tribe of El Paso. The check was cashed on July 24, 2002, the same day the Alabama-Coushatta casino was forced to close.

Alabama-Coushatta leaders said they didn't know the charity was run by Abramoff. The money was apparently used to send Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) to Scotland.
