Judicial Watch, the public interest group that forced the release of Hillary Clinton's daily White House schedule on March 20, announced today that Barack Obama’s November 11, 2007 claim to cable TV news reporter Tim Russert—that “every single piece of information, every document related to state government” relating to Obama’s tenure in the state legislature “was kept by the state of Illinois and has been disclosed and is… available right now”, appears to be false.
According to a February 25th letter from the Illinois Office of the Secretary of State in response to Judicial Watch's open records request, "The ISA does not maintain Senator Obama's personal records or papers. [Nor] does the ISA maintain records generated by his office. In addition, the ISA has received no requests from Senator Obama to archive any records formerly in his possession."

Said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton:
Judicial Watch recently forced the release of Hillary Clinton's White House daily schedule through a lawsuit, and is pursuing her phone logs.
"Our investigation suggests Senator Obama could have had his records archived so that they are available to the public, but, to this day, has chosen not to do so. Apparently, he does not want a complete paper trail of his time in the Illinois State Senate. Where are his office records?"
