Sandy Berger, President Clinton’s national security advisor, is the focus of a Justice Department criminal investigation after admitting that he removed classified terrorism documents and handwritten notes from a secure reading room during preparations for the Sept. 11 commission hearings.
Berger and his lawyer said he knowingly removed notes he had made while reading anti-terrorism documents by sticking them in his jacket and pants. He inadvertently took copies of classified documents in a leather portfolio, they said. Berger has offered to cooperate with the inquiry.
