President Bush returned to Washington yesterday with his Republican Party facing mounting allegations of sleaze, the latest problem for a White House scrambling to regain public trust after its poor response to Hurricane Katrina.

With Tom DeLay, the party’s leader in the House of Representatives, already accused of ethics violations, the taint of scandal has now spread to Bill Frist, the Republicans’ Senate leader.

Frist, a heart surgeon with presidential ambitions, was placed under investigation by federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission last week after it emerged that he had sold millions of dollars of shares in a Frist family company shortly before their value fell.

Frist’s problems come after the arrest a week ago of David Safavian, the White House’s top official responsible for government purchasing, on charges of obstructing a criminal investigation into Jack Abramoff, a Republican lobbyist with close ties to DeLay.
