The Department of Justice revealed the remainder of its witness list today in the trial of Kevin Ring, a former associate of imprisoned ex-lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

Several anticipated witnesses were not on the list, most notably David Lopez, former chief of staff to Rep. John Doolittle, R-Calif., and Greg Orlando, Doolittle's former legislative director. Before becoming a lobbyist, Ring was an aide in Doolittle's office, and in testimony yesterday, another staffer-turned-lobbyist, Neil Volz, characterized Doolittle as one of Ring's lobbying "champions."

Numerous e-mails between the accused and Lopez and Orlando are part of the prosecution's evidence, and the two former Doolittle staffers could have given testimony about Ring's relationship with their office.

The prosecution's witness list is:
John Albaugh, former chief of staff to Rep. Ernest Istook, R-Okla.
Michael Deaver, Department of Justice
Ann Copland, former staffer for Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss.
Su Daly, Department of Justice
Greg Harris, Department of Justice
Todd Boulanger, former lobbying associate of Ring and Abramoff
Tim Peckinpaugh, former lobbying associate of Ring and Abramoff
Jason Hickox, former vice president of company that owned Abramoff's Signatures Restaurant

The prosecution will also call an FBI agent at the end of its case to read additional e-mails into the record.
