(The Politico) Eric A. Kuwana, a counsel for the Bush-Cheney reelection effort in 2004, released the following statement Monday afternoon in response to a report that campaign officials had not provided the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee with sufficient documentation for White House officials using campaign e-mail accounts:

"In an effort to cooperate with the committee, counsel for BC '04 engaged in substantial written and verbal communications with committee staff for more than a month to try to reach an agreement on exactly what, when and how any appropriate information would be produced to the committee.

"BC '04's documents and information are from a limited period of time years ago, have no articulated connection to the investigations of the committee, and very well may be the type and nature of political documents that are specifically exempt from the Presidential Records Act.”
