Bush campaign lawyer resigns amid Swift Boat ties
Benjamin Ginsberg, a top Bush adviser and longtime Florida recount attorney, resigns as national counsel after disclosing he advised the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Kerry camp says resignation highlights Bush group's connections, while both campaigns deny coordination. Ginsberg will still provide counsel to the veterans group under privilege, and Progress for America Voter Fund says it will continue the relationship.
