"THE lobbyist at the centre of a major Congressional bribery investigation pleaded guilty yesterday after agreeing to provide prosecutors with evidence that could implicate at least 20 US politicians, mostly Republicans.

The move sets the stage for an explosive corruption scandal involving President George W. Bush's party.

Jack Abramoff, a wealthy lobbyist with extensive financial ties to many politicians - including former Republican house leader Tom DeLay - pleaded guilty to conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion."
