To all White House Staff: We were informed last evening by the Department of Justice that it has opened an investigation into possible unauthorized disclosures concerning the identity of an undercover CIA employee. We have been directed to aid in the investigation, and the president wants to wholly cooperate with this shift in policy, and help the investigation in any way possible. This is a reminder to retain all potential records; do not shred any documents, do not delete any emails. Above all, we expect you to fully cooperate with the investigation, and you will get to return to some sense of normalcy once the firestorm has died down.

Sincerely, Associate Counsel Ted Ullyot
