President Clinton's national security adviser, Sandy Berger, removed classified documents from the National Archives, hid them under a construction trailer and later tried to find the trash collector to retrieve them, the agency's internal watchdog said Wednesday.
Berger took the documents in the fall of 2003 while working to prepare himself and Clinton administration witnesses for testimony to the Sept. 11 commission.
Berger pleaded guilty to unlawfully removing and retaining classified documents. He was fined $50,000, ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and was barred from access to classified material for three years.
In 1988, members of Reagan's administration faced criminal charges over the destruction of documents that violated the Presidential Records Act.
An investigation found that senior administration officials provided monetary assistance to Nicaraguan Contra rebels when such support was prohibited. It also found that officials facilitated the sale of U.S. arms to Iran to finance the aid.
John Poindexter, a national security adviser for Reagan, and U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Oliver North were charged with removing and destroying documents, among other crimes. Poindexter's conviction was reversed on appeal, and North's charges were ultimately dropped.
I worked with Ollie North and for John Poindexter at the time. I inveigled North to brag about his exploits in front of Dave Major, FBI Agent and developer of Moscow Rules. A couple days later Ollie was being interrogated under oath. Poindexter was too trusting. I don't have any more comments.
