Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) pressed Goodling on how the Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty had not been “not fully candid” in his testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee in February about the level of the White House involvement in the U.S. attorney firings.

Goodling said that she “didn’t withhold” any information, but that McNulty “didn’t use all of it.” When Nadler asked Goodling if McNulty had potentially perjured himself, Goodling said “those are the conclusions for others to draw.”

Update: You can read Goodling’s prolonged accounting of how the deputy attorney general misled the committee in her lengthy written statement here (pdf).
