New Questions Raised over Missing White House Emails

HeadlineJan 22, 2008

New information has come to light about the growing controversy over the millions of missing White House emails. Last week Congressman Henry Waxman revealed the White House had failed to preserve emails for at least 473 days. In addition, Vice President Cheney’s office shows no electronic messages preserved on sixteen separate days. The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has analyzed the sixteen days when Cheney’s office claims it has no email archives. One of the days is September 30, 2003, the same day the Justice Department and FBI announced they were investigating who outed former CIA agent Valerie Plame. Cheney’s office is also missing emails from October 4, 2003, the day the Justice Department demanded that the White House turn over “all documents that relate in any way” to the leak of Plame’s identity.
