Donation requests tied Abramoff to White House access
AP reports that e-mails show lobbyist Jack Abramoff solicited large donations from tribal clients and others to Norquist's ATR while arranging meetings with President Bush or Karl Rove. Norquist allegedly linked $100,000 gifts to access, though ATR denies arranging meetings for pay and says invitations came as thank you gestures for Bush support. White House and ATR spokesman defended lack of solicitation for meetings.
