A former administrative aide to Sen. John Ensign has a federal public defender for his Washington, D.C., criminal case alleging he illegally lobbied Ensign and his staff.
Doug Hampton's lawyer filed documents Tuesday seeking to postpone his Thursday arraignment in Washington until Monday. He says Hampton needs to travel from his home in California.
The federal public defender also asked that the court pay for Hampton's travel, saying he cannot afford the trip.
Hampton faces charges in connection with lobbying he did on behalf of a Las Vegas airline company and an energy company. Federal law prohibits a senior Senate aide from lobbying the Senate for one year after terminating employment.
Hampton quit and became a lobbyist after he learned that Ensign had an affair with his wife.
Ensign is such a dirt bag to have put his friends in the position he did. Ensign should also be charged since he conspired in this criminal activity. But Ensign is rich and mommy and daddy can buy off the people they need to in order to keep Johnny out of trouble. GROSS
I find it hard to believe that Hampton is indigent when he lives in a home that cost $1,230,000.
hey snot nosed spoiled punk johnny ensign..
guess what buddy...
more negative karma coming your way pal...
A LOT MORE!!!
He should plea guilty by reason of being dumb.
