Attorney General Alberto Gonzales appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday for more questioning on his role in the firing of U.S. attorneys and the Bush administration’s domestic spy program. Gonzales faced heated questioning for a 2004 hospital visit to then-Attorney General John Ashcroft. Gonzales has been accused of trying to pressure Ashcroft to sign off on a classified surveillance program as he lay recovering from major surgery in his hospital bed. Gonzales denied trying to get Ashcroft’s approval and said congressional leaders had already agreed the program should continue at a White House meeting. Three lawmakers who were at the meeting immediately refuted Gonzales’ statement. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the program was in fact discussed, but no consensus was reached. Gonzales’ testimony repeatedly came under scrutiny from Judiciary Committee members. Republican Senator Arlen Specter said: “I do not find your testimony credible.” Committee Chair Senator Patrick Leahy was even more blunt, telling Gonzales, “I don’t trust you.”
