He referred questions to the Justice Department.
"As we have said from the beginning, the President and the White House are cooperating with this investigation, and as it has been appropriate, we have provided relevant updates publicly, being as transparent as we can consistent with protecting and preserving the integrity of the investigation," Sams said."We would refer other questions to the Justice Department at this time."President George W.
