California Congressman resigning committee post after home searched in corruption probe
Doolittle's attorney, David Barger, confirmed Wednesday night that Doolittle's Oakton, Va., home was searched last week for records pertaining to his wife's business. Her company, Sierra Dominion Financial Solutions, is a consulting firm with Julie Doolittle as the sole employee. Through the company, she has worked for disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, a lobbying firm and as a fund-raiser for the congressman, according to media reports. One GOP aide said "Doolittle's colleagues, including those in leadership, were not aware of the FBI search until yesterday." |
