Office of the President to tell the court by May 5 [1]whether any e-mail
server backup tapes were kept for a period from March to October 2003 to
cover controversial issues such as reasons for starting the war in Iraq,
the release of a former CIA operative’s name and the US Department of
Justice’s actions. The White House has been working for months trying to
[2]fend off a lawsuit filed last May in federal court in Washington by
the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics. The judge cited what he
called an apparent contradiction by White House CIO Theresa Payton as to
whether backup tapes had been preserved. He also recommended that White
House employees be ordered to turn over any flash drives or other
portable media that may contain e-mails. The White House [3]missing email
scandal has been [4]developing for [5]some time now.”
