In 2004, Ashcroft had whilst still Attorney General sued Oracle Corporation to prevent it from acquiring a multibillion-dollar intelligence contract.[1] In May 2005 shortly after his resignantion as AG, Ashcroft founded a consulting firm, The Ashcroft Group, LLC., which Oracle hired in 2005. With the consulting firm's help, Oracle went on to acquire the contract.[1] As of March 2006 the firm had twenty-one clients, turning down two for every one accepted.[2] In 2005 year-end filings, Ashcroft's firm reported collecting $269,000, including $220,000 from Oracle Corporation, which won Department of Justice approval of a multibillion-dollar acquisition less than a month after hiring Ashcroft. The year-end filing represented, in some cases, only initial payments.[citation needed]
