Rove did NOT Deny Involvement in the Siegelman Case

Reports in both the mainstream and Web press indicate that Karl Rove, in his testimony before representatives of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, denied involvement in the Don Siegelman case.

There is only one problem with those reports: They are not true.

..............................

Like many depositions, the Rove/Elliot Mincberg encounter took a number of twists and turns. Similar questions were asked multiple times, with slight variations. Rove gave slightly varying answers, appearing to contradict himself in one or two instances.

But the inquiry came down to two "money questions." In both instances, the question essentially was this: Did Rove, or anyone working for him, ever have any communications with anyone about a possible criminal investigation or prosecution of Don Siegelman?

Rove's answer both times? "Not that I'm aware of."
