White House Documents and Emails Requested by Office of Special Counsel

Brian Zick

In the very last paragraph of a story primarily about Alberto Gonzales having "lost the confidence of almost all the Republicans in Congress," Mikey Isikoff for Newsweek reports: The Office of Special Counsel, a federal agency that investigates whistle-blower complaints, recently sent document requests to the White House and the Justice Department relating to the firing of one of the prosecutors, David Iglesias of New Mexico, according to an official familiar with the probe, requesting anonymity to discuss an ongoing case. (The office also is seeking e-mails relating to a complaint that the General Services Administration was used to promote GOP political candidates, a potential violation of the Hatch Act.)
