No indictment for Rove
The week's news at a glance.
Washington, D.C.
Presidential advisor Karl Rove has been told by prosecutors that he will not face charges in the CIA leak case, Rove’s lawyer said this week. Rove has been dogged by charges that he concealed his part in a White House scheme to reveal the name of CIA agent Valerie Plame, whose husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, was a critic of the administration’s Iraq policy. Rove’s lawyer, Robert Luskin, said that Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald’s decision “should put an end to the baseless speculation about Mr. Rove’s conduct.” The only person charged in the case is former Dick Cheney aide Lewis “Scooter” Libby, who in October was indicted for obstruction of justice.
