-Two years after Berger left office he reviewed classified documents at the National Archives in July, September and October of 2003 in connection with requests for documents made by the National Commission Investigating Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|9-11 Commission]]). On September 2, 2003, and again on October 2nd, Berger concealed and removed a total of five xerox copies of classified documents from the Archives. The documents were different versions of a single document. Berger, who possessed a United States government security clearance and was aware of the laws and rules regarding classified documents, knew he was not authorized to remove the classified documents from the Archives.

Berger, who possessed a United States government security clearance and was aware of the laws and rules regarding classified documents, knew he was not authorized to remove the classified documents from the Archives.
 Berger took the documents to his office in Washington, D.C., where he destroyed three of the copies. Soon after the October visit, the Archives discovered that documents were missing and, two days later, contacted Berger. Initially, Berger did not tell the Archives staff that he had taken the documents but later that night told Archives staff that he had “accidentally misfiled” two of them.<ref>[http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2005/April/05_crm_155.htm Former National Security Advisor Samuel Berger Pleads Guilty to Knowingly Removing Classified Information from the National Archives], United States Department of Justice Press Release, April 1, 2005.</ref> He was sentenced to two years probation, fined $50,000, and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.  Two days after sentencing, Berger faced a revocation of probation for violating the terms of his probation due to a reckless driving charge.

-'''Samuel R. "Sandy" Berger''' (born 1945) is a liberal foreign policy expert who served as Deputy National Security Advisor (1993–96) and National Security Advisor to President [[Bill Clinton]] from 1997 to 2001. The most influential National Security Advisor since [[Henry Kissinger]], Berger was more of a pragmatic political advisor and was not a strategic thinker with a grand vision. Critics said he let polls drive foreign policy, and indeed Clinton did receive good press. Berger worked well with Secretary of State [[Madeleine Albright]] and Defense Secretary [[William Cohen]]—they formed the "ABC group" and shaped major policy issues. He was a foreign policy advisor to the [[Hillary Clinton]] campaign in 2008, but received no position when she became Secretary of State.  He now is an advisor to businesses involved in international trade.

 ==Career==
 Berger's father operated a small business but died when the boy was eight, so he put himself through college, taking a BA from Cornell in 1967 and a law degree from Harvard in 1971.
