House Speaker Nancy Pelosi Calls for Gonzales to Resign

HeadlineMar 20, 2007

On Monday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi became the latest lawmaker to call for Gonzales’ resignation. Pelosi said, “I don’t think Alberto Gonzales fundamentally understood the difference between being the president’s lawyer and the attorney general of the United States and the premier defender of the Constitution.” At a press briefing on Monday, White House spokesperson Tony Snow was asked about Gonzales’ future. Snow replied, “We hope he stays.” Last night the Justice Department released more than 3,000 pages of new documents relating to the firing of eight U.S. attorneys.
