WH: no details on probe despite senator’s letter

Published



Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, requested details on the internal investigation into the possibility of White House staffers involved in the Colombian prostitution scandal, but the White House had “no response” to his questions today.

“I know that there’s a letter,” White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters today. I haven’t seen it, so I don’t have any specific response to that. “I would just point you to the fact that there is no credible, specific allegation of any misconduct by anybody on the White House advance team or White House staff.  Nevertheless, out of an abundance of caution and with due diligence, the White House Counsel oversaw a review of the personnel on the White House advance team, and there’s no indication of any misconduct.”
