Speaker Boehner Won’t Reveal Cost To Defend Anti-Gay Law
Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. has previously criticized that idea, saying Justice Department lawyers have plenty of work to do with the funds they have. Pelosi, in a letter to Boehner in March, requested an estimate of how much the marriage litigation would cost.
In a rejoinder today, Pelosi said she still wants to know what the litigation will cost. “I would like to know when the contract with Mr. Clement was signed, and why a copy was not provided to Democrats on the Committee,” she wrote in a letter to Boehner. (Separately, The National Law Journal has also requested a copy of Clement’s contract.)
Clement’s firm, King and Spalding, charges between $460 and $900 an hour.
