Will Abramoff Turn State's Evidence?

Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff may be ready to cut a deal.

Looking at years in prison for his part in a corruption probe, the lobbyist has been discussing a deal with the prosecutor.

Mr Abramoff is a big target for prosecutors. He'd have to offer up some pretty big fish to fry -- but he could easily do that. Mr Abramoff has connections with high ranking members of both parties in Congress -- and with President Bush.

He could become the star prosecution witness in a variety of cases against some of the country's top politicians -- if a deal is cut. (NYT)
