The Department of Justice said Vice President Dick Cheney’s interview with the special prosecutor who investigated the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson is top secret and the document's classified status is the reason the agency has rebuffed demands to turn the document over to Congress.

In a letter sent to the government watchdog group Citizens of Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) said the documents have been withheld, in due part, because it contains information “protected from disclosure by the National Security Act.”
