WASHINGTON - U.S. Rep. Tom Feeney has paid a Baltimore firm nearly $28,000 to help handle a federal inquiry about his ties to convicted ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Aides to Feeney, R-Oviedo, would not say why he hired FTI Consulting, which specializes in computer forensics such as e-mail recovery and responding to requests for electronic information. But the aides did confirm that Feeney recently gave documents to the Department of Justice.
FTI could not be reached for comment.
The $28,000 was paid between July and September, according to records from Feeney's legal-defense fund.
"We turned over retained documents and incurred costs in doing so," said Tonnie Wybensinger, Feeney's chief of staff. She would not say when the documents were transferred or what was contained in them.
The Department of Justice, which is known to be seeking e-mails concerning Feeney, could not be reached for comment.
The FBI contacted the Orlando Sentinel earlier this year seeking e-mails from Jason Roe, Feeney's former chief of staff, about the trip. The agency sought similar information from two other Florida newspapers. |
