Rove and Miers to Testify Publicly Before Congress About Attorney Firings

Rove and Miers to Testify Publicly Before Congress About Attorney Firings

Back in March, when House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers announced that he and his staff had reached an agreement to have Karl Rove and ex-White House Counsel Harriet Miers testify privately about their roles in the firings of nine U.S. attorneys he said his panel also reserved the right to haul the former Bush administration officials before Congress to testify publicly about the matter.

Conyers now intends to take advantage of that prearranged agreement and is expected to call Rove and Miers to testify before his panel sometime in the fall, according to several congressional sources that spoke on condition of anonymity.

Their appearance would mark the first time that senior Bush White House officials will testify publicly about a scandal that resulted in the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and other top Justice Department officials.

Attorneys for Rove and Miers did not return messages left at their offices nor did they respond to e-mails seeking comment.

The questioning of Rove and Miers is expected to be lead by committee member Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Burbank, a former federal prosecutor who also lead the questioning during their closed-door testimony before the committee in June and July.

The Judiciary Committee also plans to reach out to some of the fired federal prosecutors whose dismissals, according to documents and e-mails released by the panel last week, were politically motivated to assist in drafting new questions for Rove and Miers, congressional sources said.

These sources added that, in addition to covering old ground, the committee wants Rove and Miers to publicly testify about what Bush knew and when he knew it.
