The White House responded to the note Thursday by repeating the President's previous assertions that he does not recall making telephone solicitations from the executive mansion, but cannot rule out the possibility. In the meantime, until a clarification of the existing law comes down the pipe, the White House appears content to play legal hopscotch.
