Legislative aide admits to not reporting gifts: A former legislative aide for Sen. Kit Bond, R.-Mo., pleaded guilty Thursday in Washington to failing to report as income thousands of dollars in illegal gifts that he received from lobbyists. Trevor L. Blackann, 34, admitted in federal court that he received thousands of dollars in gifts from three lobbyists in 2003, including a trip to attend baseball’s World Series in New York, drinks, meals, chauffeured rides and entertainment at a gentlemen’s club. Blackann, who went on to work for convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, admitted the lobbyists gave him the gifts because he could help them with official legislative business.
