Rove ignores subpoena, refuses to testify
WASHINGTON (AP) - July 10, 2008 Democrats subpoenaed Rove in May to force him to talk about
whether he was involved in firing federal prosecutors or sought to
influence prosecutors' decisions - including in the corruption case
against former Democratic Alabama governor Don Siegelman.
He had been scheduled to appear at a House Judiciary
subcommittee hearing Thursday morning.
The panel is considering how to respond to Rove's refusal to
show.
Siegelman was convicted on corruption charges in 2006. Democrats
are investigating whether Rove encouraged the Justice Department to
pursue the case.
