Former Clinton Attorney General Janet Reno and former FBI Director Louis Freeh won't have to explain the government's investigation involving Wen Ho Lee because a judge ruled today that such depositions might hurt nuclear security.
Attorneys for Notra Trulock, the Energy Department's former chief investigator, wanted to take depositions from the two Clintonoids and two FBI agents in hopes they would help show Trulock did not focus the espionage investigation on the Taiwanese-born Lee because of his race, the Associated Press reported.
The Justice Department "doesn't want Freeh and Reno to testify because they have something to hide," said Thomas Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, which is representing Trulock.
The FBI's bungling of the Lee case was one of many major embarrassments for the bureau in recent years. Trulock is suing Lee and two government investigators because he says accusations they made of racial profiling defamed him.
However, U.S. District Judge Gerald Bruce Lee today in Arlington, Va., decided that the deposition request was too broad and that nuclear secrets might be spilled.
The attorneys have narrowed their request, AP reported. Now it is up to the Justice Department
