Former Rep. Bob Ney was sentenced Friday to 2 1/2 years in federal prison for trading political favors for gifts and campaign donations from lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Ney, the first congressman ensnared in the lobbying scandal, pleaded guilty in October to conspiracy and making false statements. The sentence was harsher than recommended by prosecutors or Ney's lawyers, said U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle, because Ney had violated the trust placed on him as a public official.
