QUOTE: U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth ordered Assistant Attorney General Robert D. McCallum -- a friend of President Bush and the nominee for the No. 3 spot in the Justice Department -- and subordinate attorneys to pay sanctions for "attempting to cover up" lies and misrepresentations to the judge.

ABSTRACT: This article discusses a judge ordering six lawyers for the Justice Department to pay fines for obstructing an investigation. The sanctions were imposed due to the attorneys' attempt to cover up the mismanagement of an Indian Trust fund by the employees of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
