Lobbyist Jack Abramoff's former business partner pleaded guilty in a wire-fraud case involving a Florida casino ship company and said he's willing to testify against Abramoff.

Michael Scanlon agreed on Nov. 21 to aid a separate Justice Department probe in Washington involving $80 million in fees the two men got from Indian-tribe clients.
