Rep. John Doolittle (R-Calif.) reported no contributions to his legal defense fund Monday, noting that that it was created in late June just three days before the end of the second quarter’s reporting period. ~snip~

Doolittle’s campaign fundraising has struggled in recent months. His opponent, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Charlie Brown (D) came within three percentage points of beating the lawmaker last year. So far this year, Brown has raised nearly twice as much as Doolittle and has three times as much cash on hand as the congressman, according to second-quarter campaign finance documents.

The FBI is probing Doolittle and his wife’s ties to imprisoned former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. The Doolittles’ Virginia home was raided in mid-April, the start of the second-quarter fundraising period. Doolittle has denied any wrongdoing.

Doolittle’s campaign committee has paid $50,583 in legal fees since April — $20,583 to Wiley, Rein & Fielding and $30,000 to Williams and Mullen. ~snip~
