Where a senator sought attorney billing statements prepared by nongovernmental lawyers retained by a Governor’s administration in connection with an investigation of its hiring practices, it was error to award attorney fees to the senator. Because the attorney-client privilege was favored to be a valid exception to at least a portion of the records, and because the trial court’s solution of allowing documents the administration believed to be privileged to be reviewed in camera appeared to be novel, it could not be said that the administration willfully withheld records. Commonwealth v. Scorsone, 2008 Ky. App. LEXIS 18 (Ky. Ct. App. Jan. 18, 2008), op. withdrawn, sub. op., 251 S.W.3d 328, 2008 Ky. App. LEXIS 40 (Ky. Ct. App. 2008).
