President Bush answered a reporter’s query this morning about Monica Goodling’s House Judiciary Committee testimony yesterday. She testified that she “crossed the line” by taking “political considerations into account on some occasions” as a variable when hiring Justice Department lawyers.
“There is a — an internal investigation talking place at the Justice Department,” he said. “And this will be an exhaustive investigation. And if there’s wrongdoing, it will be taken care of.”
The investigation by the Department’s Inspector General Glenn Fine was revealed by Washington Post reporter Dan Eggen on May 2nd.
Bush said that he’s still “got confidence in Al Gonzales doing the job.”
He’s still standing by his lawman.
