Bush aides dispute video leak amid campaign tensions
Campaign aides to George W. Bush say a videotape of the governor preparing to debate did not come from within their circle and criticize FBI handling. An anonymous federal official said the probe focuses on whether someone in the Bush camp sent material to Al Gore. Karen Hughes blamed leaks on politics and named a few Bush figures with access to the tapes. In Gore’s camp, a Nashville staffer was suspended after admitting to joking about a mole in the Bush camp, but Fabiani said no confidential material was received.
