White House Defies Court Order To Release Records

As reported on AmericaBlog, Scott McClellan in one of his last appearances before the press brought news that smacks of a cover-up. He said that the list of visits by Jack Abramhoff ordered by the court would be less than accurate. The Secret Service was ordered by U.S. District Judge John Garrett Penn of Washington to turn over records to Judicial Watch, the organization that brought the Freedom of Information lawsuit.

Declining to explain fully what he meant by "not a complete historical record", McClellan has set the stage for more controversy surrounding the lobbyist and the Bush Administration. Already it looks like Abramhoff was at the White House for more than a couple of Hanukkah parties as previously stated.

This really seems like it is the start of another cover-up of illegal or unethical activities by the Bush administration.
