Comment From An Aide To Sen.
Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.),
Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee,
To The White House’s Request For An Extension
On The Return Of Subpoenas For Wiretapping Documents
August 17, 2007
“These are materials the Committee has been seeking for two years. The
subpoenas have been outstanding for two months. The Committee has
already extended the initial deadline. In requesting that last
extension, the White House counsel suggested that the Administration
would be ready to respond by August 1. The new deadline is three weeks
past the time the White House Counsel had estimated was needed. The
Committee looks forward to the Administration complying with the
subpoenas.”
