A federal judge in Washington, D.C., agreed to delay sentencing of Jack Abramoff in order for the disgraced lobbyist to continue cooperating with the Department of Justice's corruption probe.
U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle signed the order on Friday at the request of Abramoff and DOJ. Her decision delays sentencing until June at the earliest on charges that he defrauded tribes and attempted to bribe at least one member of Congress.
Meanwhile, Abramoff faces sentencing on March 29 for bank fraud charges in Florida because U.S. District Judge Paul Huck in Miami has refused to delay proceedings. Abramoff has asked supporters to write letters to the judge.
In related news, David Safavian, a former White House official charged as part of the Abramoff probe, is set for a hearing in Friday in Washington. He is due to go to trial April 15 on charges that he lied to investigators about his dealings with Abramoff.
