The Bush administration's top procurement officer quit his job Friday -- and was arrested Monday.The FBI says David Safavian made repeated false statements to investigators in the corruption probe of Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Mr. Safavian's job allowed him to set the purchasing policy for the entire federal government. He headed up the federal procurement office in the White House Office of Management and Budget.
Until his resignation and arrest, he'd been focused on the Hurricane Katrina relief effort. (WashPost)
