Abramoff set for sentencing in tribal fraud case
Note: Judge Huvelle has reset the hearing for 2pm in Courtroom 24A (in the annex) of the courthouse.

Jailed lobbyist Jack Abramoff will be sentenced tomorrow for defrauding his tribal clients out of millions of dollars

Abramoff is already in prison on bank fraud charges. He is seeking a lighter sentence on the tribal fraud charges and is supported by the Department of Justice.

Representatives of the Saginaw Chippewa Tribe of Michigan and the Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana, two of Abramoff's victims, want to speak at the hearing tomorrow. As of this morning, it wasn't clear whether Judge Ellen S. Huvelle would allow them to appear.

The sentencing takes place at 2pm in Courtroom 24A of the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C.
