A top foreign-policy adviser to John Kerry "is the focus of a criminal investigation after admitting he removed highly classified terrorism documents from a secure reading room during preparations for the Sept. 11 commission hearings," the Associated Press reports.Sandy Berger, who served as President Clinton's national security adviser, has acknowledged that he "inadvertently took copies of actual classified documents in a leather portfolio" and that "he knowingly removed handwritten notes he had taken from classified anti-terror documents he reviewed at the National Archives by sticking them in his jacket and pants."
His lawyer just said on CNN that he took some out in his own leather folders as well.
