Wal-Mart’s former Republican outreach director will be charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, the next to fall in a long list of current and former lobbyists linked to the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, according to court documents filed last week.

Abramoff, formerly a powerful Republican lobbyist for the Miami-based Greenberg Traurig lawfirm, is now serving a jail sentence for bribing public officials.
James Hirni will be charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, according to papers filed by the Justice Department in U.S. District Court cited by Roll Call Sunday. </p>

Hirni was an executive director for Wal-Mart’s Republican outreach effort.
