The newly disclosed documents make clear that the
decision was made after weeks of tumult in the department and
accusations from lawyers on the tobacco team that Mr. McCallum
and other political appointees had effectively undermined their
case. Mr. McCallum, No. 3 at the department, is a close friend
of President Bush from their days as Skull & Bones members at
Yale, and he was also a partner at an Atlanta law firm, Alston
& Bird, that has done legal work for R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, part
of Reynolds American, a defendant in the case.
