PHOENIX - Former Republican congressman J.D. Hayworth said Monday that he has sent documents to the Justice Department in response to its investigation of disgraced fundraiser Jack Abramoff.

Hayworth spoke about the Justice Department request during an extended rant against Arizona Republicans, journalists and others whom he blames for helping oust him from office last year.

"I have nothing to hide. I've done nothing illegal or unethical," Hayworth said on his afternoon show on Phoenix radio station KFYI.

Hayworth wouldn't talk to The Associated Press Monday. He didn't say what kind of documents he'd provided, according to audio clips from his radio show.

"My philosophy has been: Give them everything they want, no matter how tangential it may be. Make sure we answer in encyclopedic and forthcoming fashion, because, again, I've done nothing illegal or unethical."

He said Justice Department officials contacted Hayworth's lawyers in 2006 after he lost his seat to Democrat Harry Mitchell.

During the race, Hayworth was heavily criticized for his connections to Abramoff. But on his radio show Hayworth pointed out that he received $2,250 from Abramoff eight years ago.

"I subsequently sent money to charity in that amount."

Hayworth refused to concede the race days after The Associated Press called it for Mitchell. But if anyone thought he would fade from public view, Hayworth said they better think again.

"I ain't Dick Nixon, and you ain't kicking me around," he said. "I'm right here on the radio, so bring it, brother."
