Mubarak casts shadow over US policy in Egypt

Posted: 20 Aug 2013 08:06 AM PDT

White House principal deputy press secretary Josh Earnest answers questions during his daily news briefing at the White House in Washington, Monday, Aug., 19, 2013. For the Obama administration, there's a new wrinkle that could further complicate ties with post-coup Egypt: the possible release of the country's jailed former leader, Hosni Mubarak. For nearly three decades, the U.S. propped up Mubarak and the Egyptian military with financial and military support. In exchange, Egypt helped protect U.S. interests in the region, including a peace treaty with Israel. "President Mubarak is part of an ongoing Egyptian legal process right now," Earnest said. "And because that is a process that is internal to Egypt, it's not something that I'm in a position to comment on from here."
