Jury resumes deliberations in ex-Bush official's trial
Thursday, June 15, 2006
Jury deliberations resumed in the case of a former Bush administration official charged with lying about his relationship with Jack Abramoff.
One juror was dismissed because she had talked about the case outside of court. She was replaced with an alternate juror before the jury deliberated for about five hours on Wednesday.
The ex-official, David Safavian, is charged with lying and obstruction of justice. The charges stem from the federal investigation into August 2003 trip to Scotland that Abramoff partly financed with tribal money.
Safavian and Abramoff used to work at the same lobbying firm and represented tribal gaming clients. Safavian later went to work for the General Services Administration and then the White House Office of Management and Budget.
