Former Greenberg Traurig lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty in Miami federal court Wednesday to two felony counts of wire and mail fraud. The judge set a March 16 sentencing date for Abramoff, who potentially faces 70 to 87 months in prison for faking a $23 million wire transfer in the purchase of SunCruz casinos' gambling fleet. The former top lobbyist is expected to be a key witness in what some political experts say could be one of the biggest congressional corruption cases in U.S. history.

Former Greenberg Traurig lobbyist Jack Abramoff pleaded guilty in Miami federal court Wednesday to two felony counts of wire and mail fraud.
When asked by U.S. District Judge Paul C. Huck whether he was guilty, Abramoff replied, “Yes, sir,” but he did not say anything else. He and his Miami attorney, Neal Sonnett, sneaked out a side door to elude dozens of reporters and camera crews.
