Docs suggest Bill keeping Hillary’s papers under wraps at presidential library
(RawStory.com) Oct. 22, 2007For those hoping to illuminate Hillary Clinton’s role in her husband’s administration, a visit to the William J. Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Ark., may be a wasted one.
Although the library has been open since 2004 and its records have been subject to public-records requests for nearly two years, just one-half of 1 percent of the library’s 78 million documents and 20 million e-mails have been made public, Newsweek’s Michael Isikoff reports. Among the documents hidden from public view are memos detailing Hillary Clinton’s advice to the then-president on healthcare reform and Bill Clinton’s advice to his wife in the run-up to her 2000 Senate campaign.
The former president said the Bush administration has “slowed down the opening of my own records,” although a White House spokesman told Isikoff that the administration has not blocked any documents’ release and is not reviewing any.
