Sen. Leahy Subpoenas Rove-Gonzales Emails

HeadlineMay 03, 2007

In Washington, there have been several developments in the growing scandal over how the Bush administration has tried to transform the Justice Department into a political arm of the White House. The Justice Department has launched an internal investigation into whether the department’s former liaison to the White House, Monica Goodling, illegally screened job applicants based on their political party affiliation. Meanwhile, the Senate Judiciary Committee has subpoenaed Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to turn over all emails to or from White House adviser Karl Rove in connection to the firing of eight U.S. attorneys. The White House has claimed their copies of the emails have been lost.
