Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) has written a letter to Republican National Committee chair Ken Mehlman after letters surfaced linking Mehlman to the Abramoff lobbying scandal .
Emails given to the House reform committee indicate that Mehlman, then White House Director of Political Affairs, requested two tickets to a July 2001 U2 concert from Abramoff via lobbyist Kevin Ring.
Mehlman is often characterized as having been an ally of Abramoff during his time at the White House.
If he accepted the tickets requested, the current head of the RNC failed to include them on his 2001 financial disclosure form.
