WASHINGTON (AP) - The House Judiciary Committee has threatened
to subpoena former White House adviser Karl Rove if he does not
agree by May 12th to testify about former Alabama Governor Don
Siegelman's corruption case.
In a letter to Rove's attorney today, committee lawmakers called
it "completely unacceptable" that the former Republican White
House aide has so far declined the committee's request for sworn
testimony even as he discusses the matter publicly through the
media.
Since last year, Democrats on the committee have been
investigating whether Rove and other Republicans influenced
Siegelman's prosecution on bribery and other charges. Siegelman, a
Democrat, was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to more than seven
years in prison last year.
