US President George W Bush has said he is satisfied with the explanation Vice President Dick Cheney gave about his accidental shooting of a fellow hunter in Texas last weekend.
However, Mr Bush deflected questions about whether he was satisfied with the way the incident was disclosed to the public after a delay of nearly 24 hours.
Vice President Cheney broke his own personal silence about the shooting on Wednesday in a television interview.
Last night President Bush said Democrats who said the incident highlighted a culture of White House secrecy ‘were making the wrong conclusion about a tragic accident’ and it was time to move on.
