Sensitive documents stolen from White House aide car
The car of Cheryl Mills, aide to White House counsel Abner Mikva, was burglarized this week in Washington. Officials say several sensitive documents were taken and may involve material tied to the Vince Foster death and the Waco raid, but few details were released. The incident is described as a simple break-in rather than political motivation.
