House Panel Subpoenas Valerie Plame Records

The Blog of Legal Times reports House Panel Subpoenas Valerie Plame Records.

"The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today sent Attorney General Michael Mukasey a subpoena demanding the FBI interview records of Vice President Dick Cheney and President George W. Bush in the CIA agent identity leak probe."

This has been going on for a while with Waxman wanting info and the administration saying no or "separation of powers". I guess McClellan's book did something...

"New details about Cheney's and Bush's roles in the Plame affair by McClellan in his book, What Happened: Inside The Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception, have bolstered Waxman to press for more access to Justice files. The revelations are the subject of a hearing this Friday before the House Judiciary Committee, where McClellan is expected to testify."
