MONTPELIER, VT (Talon News) -- Democrat front-runner Howard Dean is keeping his papers close to the vest and is not commenting about their contents following the announcement last week that he is being sued for not complying with Vermont's public access laws.
Over the weekend, Dean released a short statement on the lawsuit.
"Last week, Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit that presented this question to the court. A judge will now decide which documents should be released. This removes the issue from the context of a political campaign and puts it in the hands of an unimpeachable third party which is where it belongs," Dean said while campaigning in South Carolina on Sunday.
The controversy has been building as the former Vermont governor has steadfastly refused to release documents from his time in office that he ordered sealed.
