The White House initially denied to Pennsylvania media Rep. Joe Sestak’s (D-Pa.) claim that the administration had offered him a job in exchange for not running in that state’s U.S. Senate primary against Sen.

Bauer’s May 28 memo, which concedes that the White House did offer Sestak a position to “avoid a decisive Senate primary” against Specter, contradicts comments that an unnamed White House official or officials made to the Philadelphia Inquirer and Philadelphia television journalist Larry Kane in February.
