Senator Demands Attorney General Clear Iglesias’ Name “Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., wrote Gonzales on Friday demanding that the attorney general clear David Iglesias’ name. Schumer’s letter came the day after Gonzales’ former chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, testified before Congress that in hindsight, he would not have recommended Iglesias for dismissal.” (USA TODAY)Democrat’s Won’t Reschedule Gonzales “For all the explanations Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has given about his role in the firing of eight U.S. prosecutors, he hasn’t yet given one under oath to Congress. For the White House, it suddenly seems that day can’t come fast enough. The Bush administration scrambled Sunday to move up Gonzales’ planned April 17 testimony. The idea was rejected by Democrats, who said it was too late to adjust the schedule.” (Associated Press)
