| Bush Blocks House's Request for FBI Documents
Quote:
President Bush today blocked an attempt by a House committee to obtain internal FBI documents from the CIA leak investigation, asserting that notes from interviews of Vice President Cheney and other White House officials are protected by executive privilege.
The move further escalates the conflict between the White House and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has issued a subpoena to Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey in an attempt to secure records related to FBI interviews in the leak investigation.
