 | | Treasury Secretary John Snow said Sunday that his predecessor, Paul O'Neill, did nothing wrong when he used departmental documents as source material for a book that cast President Bush in an unflattering light. |
 | | The investigation by the department's inspector general found that though O'Neill did receive classified material from the department after his resignation, the lapse was the fault of the Treasury Department, not O'Neill, the sources said. |
 | | O'Neill, who was forced out as treasury secretary in late 2002 during a shake-up of Bush's economic team, said he had asked the department for material related to his tenure and had received about 19,000 documents contained in CDs. |
