Senators Set Deadline for Wiretap Disclosure

HeadlineMay 23, 2007

The top Democrat and Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee are accusing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales of “consistent stonewalling and misdirection” about the administration’s warrantless spy program. On Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Chair Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania set a deadline of June 5 for Gonzales to turn over key documents. The senators say they are prepared block legislation re-authorizing the spy program if Gonzales fails to comply. Meanwhile, Gonzales remains under scrutiny for his role in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys.
