15 Jul 2008 // CREW filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Secret Service for records of all visits Stephen Payne made to the White House and residence of the vice president, following on the heels of a revelation by The London Times that Mr. Payne, a lobbyist and top Bush fundraiser, has attempted to sell access to top administration officials in exchange for contributions to the Bush library. CREW has already requested that Attorney General Michael Mukasey open an investigation into the possible criminal violations committed by Mr. Payne and seeks additional records that would reveal the degree to which Mr. Payne had access to the president and his top aides.
