White House, Durbin Disagree Over Tenet Claim Story aired: Thursday, July 17, 2003
White House officials say "nonsense" to claims made today by Illinois Senator Dick Durbin. Durbin said on ABC's "Good Morning America" this morning that CIA Director George Tenet testified that a White House official insisted that questionable intelligence regarding Iraq's nuclear intentions be included in the president's State of the Union Address.
Democratic Senator Durbin repeated his version on the Senate floor earlier today.
