SECRET SERVICE ON JENNA CASE


December 9, 2005 -- THE U.S. Secret Service is looking into the mystery of what appears to be Jenna Bush's college ID card that she allegedly left at a bar during a night of partying — after the Feds read about it on PAGE SIX.

On Monday, we broke a story about fun-loving First Daughter Jenna supposedly losing her University of Texas ID and wads of cash at trendy Lower East Side bar Happy Ending. Travis Poston, who runs Web site tbirdshow.com, has video footage of an unidentified man showing what appears to be Jenna's ID from the University of Texas at Austin, which graduated her last year.

...

After our story ran, we got a call from First Lady Laura Bush's spokeswoman, Susan Whitson, who blasted us for running the piece and claimed it wasn't true.

But the Secret Service thought our story was solid enough to assign Special Agent Bill Noonan to the case. Poston got a curt e-mail from Noonan on Tuesday that read: "Please contact Special Agent Bill Noonan, United States Secret Service, reference NY Post article dated 12/5/05."

Noonan then paid Poston a visit and obtained a copy of the tape. After presumably viewing the footage, Noonan called Poston back and asked if he knew the identity of the man who appears on it.
