The criminal investigation of former National Security Adviser Sandy
Berger – accused of pocketing highly classified terrorism documents
prior to the Sept. 11 Commission hearings – is now before a federal
grand jury, according to an *ANONYMOUS source* (my emphasis) with
knowledge of the probe.
"(Berger) has been interviewed several times by federal agents – FBI
and prosecutors," the source told the New York Post.
Department of Justice spokesman Mark Corallo did not return
WorldNetDaily's call requesting comment.
In October, a Justice spokesman told WND that a criminal
investigation was ongoing, but he would not provide details about its
nature or timing.
...
The investigation began last spring when archives staffers ran a
sting operation after they reported seeing Berger sneak out
classified documents in his pants and socks.

Weekly World News.
The pants and socks thing is a lie, this is according to Media
Matters for America.
Berger never said that he put the documents in his pants or his
socks, and there is no on-the-record substantiation of the charge
that he did so. In fact, as Media Matters previously documented,
Berger and his lawyer, Lanny Breuer, have said for the record that:
1) Berger inadvertently put several copies of classified documents
into a leather portfolio he was carrying; and 2) that Berger put
handwritten notes, which he had made while reviewing the documents,
in his jacket and in his pants pockets. Breuer was quoted in the July
21, 2004, New York Times as saying that while Berger had put his
handwritten notes in his jacket and pants pockets, "If there's a
suggestion that he's shoving things down his pants, that is
categorically false and ridiculous."
