XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX FRI MARCH 24 2000 17:49:22 ET XXXXX ALL ZIPPED UP: JUDGE ASKED TO SEIZE FILE IN WHITE HOUSE E-MAIL PROBE; FALSE AFFIDAVIT FILED BY EXECUTIVE BRANCH WASHINGTON -- Judge Royce C. Lamberth has ordered an in-camera hearing next Thursday at 10 am to explore new developments in the White House e-mail debacle, including revelations that a false affidavit apparently has been filed by an Executive Branch employee and a ZIP file may exist containing the missing e-mails. MORE An affidavit was submitted to the court by the Justice Department and the White House saying there were no e-mail problems 18 months ago. But documents produced during a congressional hearing on Thursday show Daniel Barry, a White House computer specialist, was on notice of the White House e-mail problem before he signed a declaration setting forth that there was no e-mail problem. During a court session on Friday, Judge Lamberth was asked to seize a ZIP file that may exist containing information on more than 100,000 missing White House e-mails . MORE Contractor Robert Haas has told investigators that he created the ZIP which contained e-mails about various Clinton scandals, including Filegate, Chinagate, campaign finance, Travelgate and Lewinsky. According to case intelligence, the ZIP is said to contain a sampling of the e-mails, which could be typed out or printed in a matter of minutes. The Justice Department and the White House did not advise either Lamberth's court, which is hearing a civil action brought by Judicial Watch, or Congress. A submission to Congress last week by the White House made no mention of the ZIP file. Judicial Watch has asked the judge to take the ZIP into custody and have its contents printed out. MORE
