Attorney General Does Not Comply With Senate Judiciary Subpoena

Filed under: add to del.icio.us

U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales failed to timely provide subpoenaed e-mail correspondence and related correspondence between White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove and Department of Justice offices.

Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (Dem. - Vt.) and Ranking Member Arlen Specter (Rep. - Penn.) subpoenaed the e-mails and other communications from the Attorney General on May 2, 2006, giving him two weeks to comply and gather the subpoenaed materials. The Senate Judiciary Committee continues to investigate the communication and possible influence that White House officials had with the Justice Department in connection with the firing of career U.S. Attorneys.

Under the terms of the subpoena, Gonzales had a deadline of 2:00 p.m. EST to provide the materials to the Committee.
