Doolittle Ex-Aide Talking to Feds

[cal04]

Rep. John Doolittle's former chief of staff is cooperating with federal prosecutors investigating Doolittle and his wife in the Jack Abramoff influence-peddling scandal, the aide's attorney told The Associated Press on Monday.

The aide, David Lopez, who was Doolittle's longtime chief of staff until 2005 and continued to work on his campaigns after that, has turned over campaign finance records to the Justice Department under subpoena, said his attorney, Bill Portanova.

A different former Doolittle staffer, Kevin Ring, who went on to work as a lobbyist with Abramoff, was already known to be under investigation in the wide-ranging probe. Portanova's comments marked the first public confirmation that prosecutors have been interviewing other former Doolittle aides.

"Our client has been contacted like many other former staffers," said Portanova. "We have provided documents pursuant to government request in the form of a subpoena which we gladly complied with."
