The Associated Press reports:
The Justice Department has released hundreds of documents that it used to falsely accuse scientist Steven J. Hatfill of masterminding the 2001 anthrax attacks.The documents were unsealed Tuesday following last week’s federal court order to do so. They show the FBI seized clothing, financial records, VHS tapes, books and other papers from Hatfill’s home in Frederick, Md.
Hatfill originally was named a person of interest in the anthrax attacks. But the Justice Department cleared him last summer after switching its focus to another suspect, Bruce Ivins.
Some of the court documents can be found here. We’ll bring you the rest as soon as DOJ makes them available.
The New York Times and Los Angeles Times had sued to have the Hatfill documents released.
Late Update: Here are more of the documents.
