An attorney for former prime minister Ehud Olmert responded this afternoon to the Israel Prison Service's ban on meeting his client by saying, "Mr. Olmert has never brought any classified document into prison." The attorney also said, "We reject an attempt by a junior intelligence officer of the IPS to blacken Mr. Olmert and hint that there is a security risk in his conduct, in order to undermine his request to shorten his sentence by a third."
