(Washington, D.C.) Today Chairman Dan Burton of the House Government Reform Committee sent a letter to the Honorable Royce C. Lamberth, the judge presiding in Judicial Watch's $90 million class-action lawsuit, asking that he take additional steps to ensure that over 100,000 e-mails and about 500 hard drive cartridges are secured, to avoid destruction. Based on past experience with the Clinton-Gore White House, Chairman Burton, like Judicial Watch, has valid concerns that the evidence be preserved pending Court review and review by congressional authorities. "Judicial Watch applauds the intervention by Chairman Burton and the House Government Reform Committee before the Court in the Filegate lawsuit, because this is a serious matter which requires expeditious action to preserve evidence which concerns Filegate, Chinagate, the Lewinsky, and other Clinton scandals, which have been subject to a cover-up these many years," stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman. | |
