Eli Sanders is keeping on the story of Rev. Ken Hutcherson's claim that the White House made him a special envoy that gave him authority to act on the administration's behalf in Latvia.

Sanders has an audio clip at The Slog of what seems to be Hutcherson saying in Latvia that he had "the power and the commission" that gave him some official standing.

He also has this about a Seattle attorney asking the FBI to investigate Hutcherson.

I have not heard back today from Hutcherson, who said he was getting a videotape that would prove he was telling the truth, or from the White House, which I've asked more questions about Hutcherson's claims.
