A former GOP lobbyist with ties to Jack Abramoff may be moving toward a plea agreement with the Justice Department in its wide-ranging corruption investigation, documents showed Friday.

James F. Hirni will be charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, according to papers filed by the Justice Department in U.S. District Court.

A Hirni spokesman said he is cooperating with the Justice Department.

"He regrets one single instance as a first-time lobbyist over five years ago when a mistake in judgment by agreeing to a client's request led to an unfortunate chain of events on one evening," spokesman Scott Sobel said. "Jim has acknowledged his role and the involvement of those responsible for that incident."

Hirni, who most recently worked for Wal-Mart Stores Inc., was implicated on Thursday as part of a plea agreement reached by federal prosecutors with former congressional aide Trevor L. Blackann.
