The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee has issued a subpoena for Karl Rove’s testimony regarding the firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006. Rove and two other senior aides to Bush, Harriet Miers and Josh Bolten, have been subpoenaed before but refused to appear, citing executive privilege. It is unknown how Rove will react now that the President is unlikely to exert executive privilege on his behalf. (Associated Press)
