WASHINGTON (AP) -- Another lobbyist has been charged in the Jack Abramoff corruption scandal.
The government says Todd Boulanger wined and dined government officials and gave them gifts including tickets to professional sports and concerts to try to win influence for his clients. He was charged Wednesday with conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
The charge was outlined in a federal court document known as an information -- a document normally filed as part of a plea deal. His attorney did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Boulanger worked as a deputy to Abramoff after spending several years as an aide to former GOP Sen. Bob Smith of New Hampshire.
