Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, today told Fox News that he wants an inspector general or some other third party to retrace the White House review, questioning the "credibility" of the assessment conducted by the White House counsel.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney announced yesterday that its counsel found the White House advance team was not engaged in "any inappropriate conduct" in Colombia. Carney announced the results of the review after initially claiming Friday it would not be necessary. That's about 48-hours to conduct a thorough investigation for those of us counting on transparency.
"Maybe they had a chance to talk to everybody, but it seems to me they came to that conclusion very quickly," Grassley said.
The senator also fired off a letter posing questions to White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler. Among Grassley's questions, he asked how many people were involved in the "weekend review" and how many hours were spent on it. Those are obviously in addition to his questions about what happened in Colombia.
Carney said today he hadn't seen Grassley's letter, but said there is no "credible" or "specific" allegation of misconduct by anyone on the White House advance team or staff.
