Weldon said that Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer, the Able Danger team member who came forward this week, "had a good meeting with [Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence] Stephen Cambone and Gen. Schwartz on Monday where they really laid it out."

"Secretary Cambone told him, 'Look, we need to know what really happened here because this all happened in a previous administration and so we don't know all the details,'" Weldon said.

Lt. Col. Shaffer, who also spoke with Hannity on Thursday, confirmed the Pentagon investigation, saying: "There's good progress being made at the Pentagon to try to confirm what I'm saying. I'm very hopeful that a lot more of this - the truth is going to come out very soon."

Asked if he knew whether the lawyers who blocked Able Danger's intelligence on Atta were Clinton appointees or holdovers from a previous administration, Lt. Col. Shaffer said:

"I don't [know]. And that's one of the mysteries which now both the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice are probably going to have to look at; to figure out exactly who these people were and what the nature of their contacts were."

Asked whether his Able Danger team ever had contact with Jamie Gorelick, who served as general counsel at the Pentagon before becoming deputy attorney general in 1994, Shaffer said: "Not that I recall. I do recall some of the lawyers' names and she was not one of them."

"Most of the lawyers we dealt with would not have been at that level," he explained.
