An aide to Rep. Don Young (news, bio, voting record), R-Alaska, accepted $30,000 worth of tickets from influence peddler Jack Abramoff and went on a golf junket to Scotland in exchange for assisting the lobbyist, according to court papers filed Monday in the Abramoff scandal.
Mark Zachares will plead guilty Tuesday to conspiracy in the Abramoff investigation, said Zachares' lawyer, Edward MacMahon. Zachares left Young's staff in 2005.
