Justice To Begin Interviews in CIA Leak; No Independent Counsel Yet

HeadlineOct 03, 2003

In a sign that Attorney General John Ashcroft will not appoint a special independent counsel in the CIA leak case, the Washington Post reports the Justice Department plans to begin interviewing officials within the next few days to find out who illegally leaked the name of a CIA operative to reporters in July. It appears President Bush’s senior advisor Karl Rove may be among the first to be interviewed. A Justice Department official told the Washington Post, the first interviews will be with officials whose names have appeared in news reports about the case. The Justice Department announced it will also focus its investigation on the Defense and State Departments.
