CNSNews.com - Ethics Watchdog Seeks Records on White House Officials, Failed Olympics Bid

CNSNews.com - Ethics Watchdog Seeks Records on White House Officials, Failed Olympics Bid: "(CNSNews.com) – A conservative government watchdog group filed a lawsuit seeking records on the White House’s bid to hold the Olympic Games in Chicago.

The ethics watchdog Judicial Watch announced Thursday that it had filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court against Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s office. The city failed to provide the information requested under the Chicago Freedom of Information law, according to Judicial Watch.

The organization wants records on correspondence – notes, memoranda, reports – between the mayor’s office and the White House. It is particularly interested in discovering why White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett received an ethics waiver to work on the effort to bring the Olympics to Chicago. The waiver was granted on April 2."
