Aftershocks continue in Abramoff case
About a month after his name was linked to the Jack Abramoff scandal, former staffer Fraser Verrusio was charged today for accepting a free trip from lobbyists in 2003.
Verrusio and fellow former staffer Trevor Blackann accepted a free trip to New York to attend the 2003 World Series. Blackann and two lobbyists who worked for Abramoff at the time - James Hirni and Todd Boulanger - have already pled guilty to charges of corruption related to the trip.
Verrusio, a former staffer to Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska), had been linked to the scandal last months when reports surfaced that he was the staffer referred to in court papers as "Staffer D" but no charges were filed until today.
