Top White House lawyer quitting
White House counsel Greg Craig, who is leaving in early January, has been the subject of repeated questions about his future since late summer. Centred on talk that Obama’s promise to close the Guantanamo Bay military prison by January had gone awry under Craig’s leadership, the questions were settled yesterday when the White House announced Craig’s departure.
It was the highest-ranking resignation so far in Obama’s 10-month presidency.
