Earlier this week, Senator Leahy revealed that the White House does indeed have the emails, but has yet to turn them over to Congress:
The White House stonewalling the congressional investigative committees continues this pattern of confrontation over cooperation. We all remember when they first announced to us that significant e- mails that we wanted had been destroyed. They’d been lost. I stated on the floor of the Senate that it’s relatively easy to find those lost e-mails. This brought another blast from the White House, saying that I obviously had no understanding of how the Internet works and of course that couldn’t be done.
To their credit, the White House has now told me they — well, yes indeed, I was right; they were wrong. The e-mails are found. They were there in a backup system, although they have yet to give them.
The White House has until June 28 to comply with a subpoena issued earlier this week demanding all relevant documents related to the investigation, committee spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told RAW STORY.
