Washington, D.C.
Sandy Berger, former president Bill Clinton’s national security advisor, has been cleared of withholding information from the 9/11 commission, The Wall Street Journal reported last week. Berger still faces a criminal investigation for removing documents, some of which he destroyed, from the National Archives while he was preparing his commission testimony. Republicans have suggested he may have been hiding embarrassing information on the Clinton administration’s counterterrorism efforts. But investigators said Berger had not removed any original material, only photocopies, so the commission saw everything he did. “Nothing was missing,” said Daniel Marcus, the panel’s general counsel.
