WASHINGTON — Here’s ex-President George W. Bush channeling his inner Frenchman in this leaked photo.
In a stunning security breach, a hacker broke into the private e-mail accounts of family members of former President George W. Bush and his father, prying loose photos and comments about Bill Clinton and premature funeral plans for Dubya’s dad, ex-President George H.W. Bush, and intimate paintings by the former president.
The Secret Service said yesterday it’s investigating, and the Bush family confirmed the security breach. The hacker, who goes by the name Guccifer, was able to access the account of Dorothy Bush Koch, daughter of the elder former president, among others.
The intrusion yielded family photos, including this one.
The material first appeared on The Smoking Gun web site.
In an e-mail from late last year, Jeb Bush is quoted planning for his dad’s funeral, reminisced about “how kind he was with President Clinton and he helped restore his sordid reputation.”
