The White House, as expected, claimed executive privilege with regard to testimony by Karl Rove and Rove’s aide Scott Jennings about the U.S. attorney firings. You can see that letter here.
But while the White House found that Rove, as an “immediate presidential advisor” was “immune” from Congressional subpoena, they did not make that claim for Jennings. And so he’s up this morning before the Senate Judiciary Committee. We’ll bring you a little from that hearing, which is going on now, shortly.
