In an interview Friday with The National Law Journal, White House Counsel Gregory B. Craig insisted that he’s not resigning over his role in White House plans to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay — which may have trouble meeting a deadline of closure within President Obama’s first year in office.

I have no plans to leave whatsoever. The rumors that I’m about to leave are false. The reports that I’m about to leave are wrong. I have no plans to leave.

Doesn’t get much stronger or clearer than that.

As we’ve reported, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has repeatedly denied rumors in recent weeks that Craig is on his way out. Now Craig’s denying those rumors too.
