Domestic Spying Inquiry Restarted at DOJ

Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2007 | 9:47 a.m.

INVESTIGATION: The Justice Department has reopened an inquiry into the government's warrantless wiretapping program.

HALTED: The investigation was shut down after investigators were denied security clearances. The previous attorney general, Alberto Gonzales, said Bush, not he, refused to grant the clearances.

ACCESS GRANTED: The letter indicates that investigators have received the requested security clearances.

(This version CORRECTS to show that Gonzales said Bush, not he, refused security clearances.)
