Bush, Cheney Transcripts Sought
A House panel subpoenaed Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey for transcripts of a prosecutor's interviews with President Bush and Vice President Cheney during the federal probe into the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson's identity. The subpoena requests all documents from the office of former special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald relating to interviews conducted outside the presence of the grand jury investigating the leak. It also seeks Justice Department documents on a broad range of other matters, including a phone-jamming investigation in New Hampshire, the replacement of a U.S. attorney in Minnesota and the activities of the department's Civil Rights Division.
