I have spoken with him, and we have exchanged e-mails and letters, ... And I have pledged to him my full cooperation, mine and the Ramsey family's. I understand his reputation is that he's very well qualified.

We have reached a settlement with CNN. The amount of the settlement is both confidential and, under the terms of the agreement, cannot be characterized, except for me to tell you that it was a monetary payment to Barbara Jewell, the mother, and Richard Jewell.

This is the way the government apologizes. I view this letter as the government's apology to Richard Jewell.

Only a fool would subject themselves to questioning by seven investigators as some sort of publicity stunt.

There is no question there will be legal action against the media, and I think it's a good possibility that we will down the road institute action against members of the FBI. This is a good and decent man who did his job on the night of the Olympic Park bombing. He is not a criminal.

It's about money, permanent and significant damages. It's also about accountability on the part of the government and the media.
