Democrats Planning Legal Action Against Two GOP Reps...

The Huffington Post has learned that Democrats are planning legal action against two Republican members of the House, House Resources Chairman Richard Pombo (R-Calif.) and House Administration Committee Chairman Robert W. Ney (R-Ohio).

Representative Ney, who has close ties to scandal-ridden lobbyist Jack Abramoff, helped Israeli wireless company Foxcom secure a contract to provide cellular service on Capitol Hill. As The Washington Post reported yesterday, the company was selected through a potentially rigged process.

The Hill reported that Representative Pombo “may have violated tax laws by accepting international trips paid for by a private foundation.”
