White House Missing Emails Around Iraq Invasion

HeadlineMay 07, 2008

The Bush administration is claiming it can’t find hundreds of emails from one of the most critical periods of its time in office. The White House says it’s missing backup recovery files for emails beginning in March 2003, the same month it launched the invasion of Iraq. The first recorded file is dated on May 23 of that year. That leaves open the possibility more than two months’ worth of emails have been lost. The admission came out of a lawsuit by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which is suing the White House for email records.
