The Boston Globe is reporting that the White House may invoke executive privilege to bar the Justice Department from viewing some documents related to the investigation into who within the administration revealed the identity of a CIA agent to reporters. The White House counsel is reviewing all of the documents pertaining to the case before anything is given to the Justice Department which will then carry out the investigation. Attorney General John Ashcroft has rejected calls for an independent counsel. Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts said “Asserting executive privilege would make a farce of the investigation. That’s why we need a special prosecutor, so that we can challenge any cover-up.” Meanwhile Democratic Congressman John Conyers of Michigan, called on Bush advisor Karl Rove to resign over the CIA scandal. We’ll talk to him in a few minutes.
