DENVER (AP) - A volunteer said Friday he was acting on orders from White House staffers when he helped eject three people from a taxpayer-funded event President Bush was attending, according to the man's attorney.
The volunteer, Michael Casper, said in a deposition that two White House employees told him to throw out the three after Casper saw them behaving suspiciously, attorney Sean Gallagher said.
Gallagher was present for Casper's deposition in a federal lawsuit brought by Leslie Weise and Alex Young, two of the three people who were thrown out. They claim they were told to leave because of their political views, and that the White House had a policy of ejecting dissenters from the president's appearances.
