WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 03: U.S. President Barack Obama walks into the Rose Garden from the West Wing before delivering a statement on the economy at the White House September 3, 2010 in Washington, DC. The U.S. employment numbers performed better than expected by adding 67,000 private-sector jobs in August; however, the unemployment rate increased from 9.5 to 9.6 percent.

A new lawsuit has been filed by Judicial Watch, the Washington watchdog organization, seeking documents that may reveal possible White House political influence over the decision to abandon large portions of the 2008 New Black Panther voter intimidation case.

The move comes on the heels of revelations that a longtime Democrat operative was involved in a series of e-mail exchanges with the Department of Justice at the time the decision to drop most of the case was being made.

A summary of e-mails obtained under an formal information request revealed that Democratic election-lawyer Sam Hirsch was involved in the DOJ decision to dismiss the voter intimidation counts against several New Black Panther Party members.
