The Kansas City Star is reporting that a new senate panel is looking into the possibility that Jack Abramoff, through his business associations with Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed, helped take advantage of non-profits by using them to launder money from his Indian casino clients to recipients like Ralph Reed.
