U.S. Seeks to Further Question Wen Ho Lee
Attorneys for former Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist Wen Ho Lee expressed concern about news leaks suggesting that prosecutors want to resume questioning Lee about downloading restricted data and other matters.
The Washington Post reported that the FBI and federal prosecutors were considering seeking court approval to further question Lee, who pleaded guilty to a single count Sept. 13 and agreed to be interrogated under oath for 60 days. In exchange, the government dropped 58 other counts of downloading restricted data against Lee. Lee was held without bail more than nine months in solitary confinement before the plea bargain.
