Apparently, according to the AP, the State Department is confirming Sen. Biden’s claim that John Bolton failed to tell senators that he was interviewed in the joint State/CIA IG probe into the US government’s use of the forged Niger papers.
Late Update: I’ve gotten a lot of emails about this. So I wanted to clear up a seemingly widespread confusion. In questioning today, the State Department has apparently backed up Bolton’s claim that he did not testify before Patrick Fitzgerald’s criminal investigation. The reference above is to the joint State Department-CIA IG investigation from 2003. These are totally different things, though they are both related to the same underlying issue — the Niger forgeries.
