Judge: Dems can depose Gillespie, top White House and GOP officials in phone jamming case
NH Dems to retrieve White House phone records of Ken Mehlman, others; Judge denies GOP motion to postpone trial

A New Hampshire Superior Court judge has granted the request of the New Hampshire Democratic Party to seek discovery against the White House and top DC Republican operatives in the civil suit arising from the 2002 phone jamming scandal.

Those named in the motion include former Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie, former White House political director (and current RNC Chairman) Ken Mehlman, and Terry Nelson, a top strategist in the political operation of Sen. John McCain.

The next step will be serving subpoenas on the various individuals and entities involved.

The motion also sought records from the White House and from the US Chamber of Commerce. Specifically, the NHDP is seeking the White House phone records of former political director Ken Mehlman, as well as other White House numbers frequently called by officials of the NH Republican Party.

Judge Mangones also today denied the Republicans’ motion to postpone the New Hampshire Democrats’ civil suit trial. The trial is currently scheduled to commence on November 27, 2006.

Integritude.


"Ow!"
