White House staffers face deadline in CIA leak probe (CNN)

[stevedeshazer]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- White House staffers have until 5 p.m. today to relinquish all documents that may be pertinent in an investigation into who leaked the name of a CIA operative to the news media.

Under orders from the White House counsel's office, employees must search their records and turn in all potentially relevant documents -- including e-mails and phone call logs -- to that office by the deadline, or sign a form saying they have none.

About 500 of the roughly 2,000 staffers turned over what they had on Monday, a senior administration official said. The overwhelming majority of the 500 found they had no relevant documents, the official said.

Meanwhile, FBI agents have interviewed the operative, Valerie Plame, government sources confirmed to CNN Tuesday.

8. -- to that office

The Whitehouse Council's office. What's up with that? I would think the documents would be turned over to Justice Dept. But Not in this Administration.
