WASHINGTON – Rep. Steve Chabot said Friday that he’ll give the $5,000 his campaign received from Indian tribes represented by former Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff to Over-the-Rhine’s Joseph House for Homeless Veterans.

The donation comes three days after Abramoff pleaded guilty to defrauding the Indian tribes he represented out of millions of dollars and trying to use gifts and campaign contributions to get official favors.

Chabot, R-Westwood, told The Enquirer Friday that he doesn’t know Abramoff and, to his recollection, has never met the former lobbyist or spoken with him.
