Who has more granular detail about Jack Abramoff’s role as a member of the Bush transition team in 2000-2001 for the Interior Department? (Remember that Interior, for Indian Affairs and other issues, was a key area of concern for Abramoff’s business dealings.)

A presidential transition team is a pretty small number of people for one department, particularly if it’s not Treasury, State, DOJ or Defense. There’s a reference to his role in a recent Post piece by Schmidt and Grimaldi. And that’s enough to confirm the point that he was on the team.

But I haven’t been able to find any published accounts, either from the time or more recently, which provide any more detail. If you know of a more detailed account, let me know.
