Rep. Bob Ney (R-Ohio) easily won the Republican primary in Ohio amid mounting legal costs related to the Jack Abramoff scandal.
Ney established a defense fund on January 3, the same day Abramoff pleaded guilty. It has raised just $40,000 -- most of it from one family -- although he has spent $100,000 in legal fees.
Ney faces a broad corruption probe over his connections to Abramoff. He inserted comments in the Congressional record that were favorable to Abramoff and promised to introduce legislation to help Abramoff's tribal clients.
