John DiIulio, a Democrat who briefly headed the Bush administration’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, gave an interview to Esquire Magazine in which he purportedly blasted the Bush administration for excessive attention to politics and claimed that Karl Rove exercises undue influence. This interview has gotten a great deal of publicity over the last couple of days; this Washington Post article is typical. Now, DiIulio has denied that he made any such statements to the Esquire interviewer.
