AP 02/16

Lobbying invoices sent by Abramoff's firm to one client, the Northern Mariana Islands, show at least 200 contacts between Abramoff's lobbying team and the Bush administration in Bush's first 10 months in office.
Abramoff raised at least $100,000 for Bush's 2004 re-election campaign to become a "pioneer," one of the honorary titles that Bush gave his top volunteer fundraisers. Benefits of pioneer status included invitations to White House Christmas parties and other gatherings featuring the president.

New questions have arisen about Abramoff's ties to the White House since a photo emerged over the weekend showing Abramoff with Bush. The White House would not release the photo or any others that Bush had taken with Abramoff.

Bush has said that he, like all presidents, is frequently photographed with people at various events and that Abramoff is not a personal friend.
Also surfacing were the contents of an e-mail from Abramoff to Washingtonian magazine claiming he had met briefly with the president nearly a dozen times and that Bush knew him well enough to make joking references to Abramoff's family.

Three former associates of Abramoff told The Associated Press this week that the lobbyist frequently told them he had strong ties to the White House through presidential confidant Karl Rove.
