WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2002 White House vandalism that occurred at the end of the Clinton administration cost American taxpayers upwards of $14,000, Congressional investigators concluded in a report released on Tuesday. But the Bush administratoin attacked the General Accounting Office (GAO) for ignoring "material facts" and making a "flawed analysis" that paints a less than accurate portrait of documented pranks, damage and theft. In a detailed response, the White House wrote: "It appears that the GAO has undertaken a concerted effort in its report to downplay the damage found in the White House complex." The White House nevertheless insisted it never took the matter seriously and never called for the investigation which resulted in the report. Rep. Bob Barr (R-Ga.) was responsible for the probe. The money was spent to replace keyboards, make repairs and replace other items. Get the Story:
