Judge Royce Lamberth gave the U.S. Secret Service 18 days to turn over White House logs detailing disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff’s visits during the Bush administration.

Judicial Watch and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington filed a Freedom of Information Act requests for the logs. The Secret Service didn't want to release them, citing security concerns.

Lamberth rejected the argument and said the Secret Service should release logs that detail all of Abramoff's visits to the White House, starting on January 1, 2001.
