Top Bush Campaign Adviser Received $525,000 From Enron to Work with White House

January 26, 2002

From Marcia Watson at Table Talk...

For some reason, known only to an editor, the Washington Post buried this tantilizing tidbit in the article about GAO suing for Cheney's records:

Former Enron executives disclosed yesterday that a top Bush campaign adviser, Edward Gillespie, served as the company's key conduit to the White House and House leaders. Gillespie's firm received $525,000 over nine months last year from Enron for lobbying that included the energy task force and economic stimulus legislation with tax provisions that would have helped Enron.

But....just move along, this is a financial matter.
