“The ruling, by U.S. District Judge Henry Kennedy Jr. also orders staff of the Executive Office of the President (EOP) to relinquish any digital media that may contain e-mails from March 2003 and October 2005.”
Observes Tom Blanton, the National Security Archive’s director, in this story, “There is nothing like a deadline to clarify the issues.
“The White House will complain about the last-minute challenge, but this is a records crisis of its own making.”
Calls to the Department of Justice, which represents the White House and EOP, were not returned by press time, adds the post.
