CIA Leak Prosecutor to Go to New Grand Jury

HeadlineNov 21, 2005

And this update on the CIA leak case… Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said Friday that he plans to present new evidence to another federal grand jury. The announcement came three weeks after an earlier grand jury indicted Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby. Last week investigators questioned Washington Post Assistant Managing Editor Bob Woodward for two hours after learning that a senior administration official revealed Valerie Plame’s identity to him in mid-June 2003. There has been great speculation over who within the Bush administration might have been Woodward’s source. The Times of London claims it is Stephen Hadley who is now Bush’s National Security Advisor. At the time Hadley was deputy National Security Advisor under Condoleezza Rice. Newsweek magazine has suggested it might be former deputy secretary of State Richard Armitage.
