      Plame Cover-Up Continues, McClellan Says on Hill

      (Newser) - Scott McClellan took to Capitol Hill today, and in what one Republican dismissed as “book-of-the-month club” meeting, took on the CIA leak case and the Iraq war, among other topics. The former White House press secretary said he didn’t know if a crime had been committed in the CIA outing, but “suspicion still remains” because Bush administration brass won't open up, Talking Points and AP report.

      Dems' Prints All Over McClellan's 'Bitter Retort'

      (Newser) - Scott McClellan's treatment of the Valerie Plame leak case has a key player wondering who really guided the former press secretary’s pen. "His robotic performances from the White House podium seemed only to disgorge what he had been told, and What Happened has the similar feel of someone else's hand," Robert Novak, to whom Plame's CIA role was leaked, writes in the Chicago Sun-Times .

      Rove Brushes Off McClellan Claims on Plame Deception

      (Newser) - With the political world abuzz over the harsh tone of Scott McClellan’s new memoir about the "culture of deception''  in the Bush White House, Karl Rove is defending himself against one of the former spokesman’s most damning claims—that Rove and Scooter Libby colluded in a Valerie Plame cover-up and misled McClellan on the matter. Rove says, contrary to the McClellan account, he and Libby spoke regularly—and never discussed the CIA outing. More »

      Libby Drops Appeal

      (Newser) - Lewis “Scooter” Libby will drop the appeal of his conviction in the CIA leak scandal, the AP reports. President Bush commuted Libby’s 30-month prison term, but Dick Cheney's onetime chief of staff remains a convicted felon. Libby’s lawyer said he was convinced of his client’s innocence, but the case had become too great a burden for Libby’s family to bear. More »

      (Newser) - Does Hillary Clinton have dirt on Barack Obama? Robert Novak said yes in his weekend column and sparked a day of bickering between the camps. Obama’s campaign called the report “devoid of facts, but heavy on innuendo and insinuation of the sort to which we've become all too accustomed.” Clinton aides chastised Obama for taking Novak’s bait, claiming it betrayed his inexperience.
