Did Rove Mislead the FBI on CIA Leak?

HeadlineJul 20, 2005

While much focus is put on the Supreme Court, the scandal over the outing of undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame continues. And a new report in the American Prospect by veteran investigative journalist Murray Waas charges that Karl Rove may have hidden information from FBI investigators early on in the scandal. Waas writes that Rove did not disclose that he had ever discussed CIA officer Valerie Plame with Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper during Rove’s first interview with the FBI. Waas cites sources close to the investigation as saying that the omission by Rove created doubt for federal investigators as to whether Rove was withholding crucial information from them, and perhaps even misleading or lying to them.
