Gingrich declines to release ethics documents
Associated Press | Posted: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 3:15 pm

Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich on Wednesday declined to ask the Justice Department to release thousands of records from the House Ethics Committee's investigation into his conduct as speaker in the 1990s.

Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond likened the request from the open-government group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington to "wild goose chases."

The organization asked the Justice Department to release documents forwarded from the House in 1997 after it investigated Gingrich's use of tax-exempt organizations for political gain.

Gingrich spent much of his time in office dogged by ethics complaints. Almost all, brought by Democrats, were dismissed.
