Burton accuses Ashcroft of double standard over memo access
House Republican Dan Burton charges Attorney General Ashcroft with applying two standards by withholding prosecutorial memos from Congress. The dispute follows Ashcroft’s refusal to share decision-making memos, cited as protecting privacy, while Burton recalls Ashcroft’s 1998 stance on Reno memos. Burton seeks a hearing on September 6 to cover the matter.
