Libby's lawyers plan to call Karl Rove as leak witness...

RAW STORYPublished: Friday May 5, 2006

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby have wrapped up a meeting in the perjury and obstruction case against the indicted administration official, RAW STORY has learned.

The meeting is believed to have centered on the kinds of testimony that will and will not be allowed in the case against Libby relating to the leak of classified information and outing of undercover CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson.

Court filings have indicated that Libby's attorneys seek to introduce reporter's notes in defense of their client. Libby's attorneys have also made clear that they intend to call as witnesses presidential advisor Karl Rove, as well as five people who reportedly claim that Plame's husband, Joe Wilson, told them of his wife's status as a CIA agent.

Speculation has run rampant that Rove, who has been called to testify before the grand jury five times, is himself facing an indictment.
