STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT

Harold Ickes has been an important part of this Administration's efforts to move our country forward and has devoted much of his life to improving the lives of all Americans. He has been a trusted advisor and a dedicated public servant. I am confident that investigators will find he acted lawfully and appropriately.
