"Christine DeLay is a very talented woman with a keen political mind, and the project she was working on was one that had substance and added value to Alexander," he said. There are also references to Mrs. Abramoff's activities in the indictment of a former senior White House budget official, David F. Safavian. The Justice Department has accused Mr. Safavian of lying about his ties to Mr. Abramoff, who sought Mr. Safavian's help in trying to buy government land for himself and clients. Mr. Abramoff has acknowledged that he sent his wife to inspect the properties, instructing her not to reveal her real name to government officials to avoid scrutiny.
