White House sued over 'losing' five million e-mails
Nick JulianoPublished: Wednesday May 23, 2007
A Washington-based legal watchdog has sued the White House Office of Administration alleging the administration refuses to comply with a public records request related to more than 5 million e-mails from administration officials that have gone missing, according to a press release.
"The White House has decided to play an unlawful game of high-tech hide and seek with the American public," said Melanie Sloan, executive director of Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington, in the release.
Last month, CREW filed a Freedom of Information Act request asking the White House's Office of Administration to turn over records related to the millions of e-mails the watchdog says were lost between March 2003 and October 2005.
CREW filed the request in March and said it was told last month that the Office of Administration would expedite the request. Since then, though, no documents have been turned over.
