Subpoena for Gonazales
Rep. John Conyers asked for a "timely compliance" in a letter toGonzales that accompanied the subpoena.
- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales received a subpoena on Tuesdayfrom a U.S. congressional panel for documents related to the firing of federalprosecutors, a controversy that has prompted calls for his resignation.
At the White House, spokeswoman Dana Perino said, "President Bush askedthe Department of Justice to be fully responsive to this specific request fromCongress" and added the department has already provided more than 3,000pages of documents.
Asked whether Bush continued to have confidence in Gonzales, Perino replied:"Of course the president still has confidence in the attorneygeneral."
"Of course the president still hasconfidence in the attorney general." Just ask Brownie and Rumsfeld what thatmeans.
