Doolittle Aides Appear Before Grand Jury

Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON (AP) - Rep. John Doolittle's scheduler and
deputy chief of staff appeared Wednesday before a federal
grand jury investigating the California Republican's ties to
jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Doolittle's spokesman said.

The scheduler, Alisha Perkins, and Deputy Chief of Staff
Dan Blankenburg were among three Doolittle aides
subpoenaed in recent days. Chief of Staff Ron Rogers is
scheduled to testify Friday before the grand jury at the
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Doolittle spokesman Gordon Hinkle said the congressman
had no comment on the grand jury proceedings. The aides'
court appearances come five months after the FBI raided
Doolittle's home in Virginia looking for information about
bookkeeping work his wife, Julie Doolittle, did for Abramoff.

Doolittle and his wife have denied wrongdoing.
