Mehlman Caught With Hand In Cookie Jar-Abramoff relationship
A truly forgettable Shabbat dinner at the Abramoff's.

-For months the media has failed to challenge Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman’s evolving explanation for his close relationship with convicted GOP lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Jamison Foser, Managing Director of Media Matters for America today called on members of the media to challenge Mehlman on his inconsistencies.

“Ken Mehlman has had more explanations for his close ties to Jack Abramoff than a child caught with his hand in the cookie jar,” said Jamison Foser, Managing Director of Media Matters for America. “It’s time for the media to demand a true, consistent account from Mehlman. We shouldn’t have to wait for another shoe to drop for the media to examine Mehlman’s evolving explanations of his relationship to Abramoff.”

As the scandal surrounding Abramoff has inched closer to the White House, Mehlman has gone from claiming Abramoff was “someone we don’t know a lot about” in January, to knowing him “in various capacities” in April and conceding that he had known Abramoff since the mid-1990s in October.
