Newsweek: Rove spoke to reporter before leak Bush adviser didn't reveal confidential information, attorney says From Elaine Quijano CNN Washington Bureau Sunday, July 3, 2005; Posted: 2:16 p.m. EDT (18:16 GMT) story.reporters.ap.jpg Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper and New York Times reporter Judith Miller leave the U.S. District Court in Washington on Wednesday. WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Newsweek magazine is reporting that e-mails between Time magazine reporter Matt Cooper and his editors show that Karl Rove, President Bush's top political adviser, spoke to Cooper in the days before a CIA operative's identity was revealed in the media, but it wasn't clear what Cooper and Rove discussed. Rove's attorney told CNN his client did not disclose any confidential information. Attorney Robert Luskin confirmed that Cooper called Rove in July 2003 but said he's "not characterizing the subject matter of that conversation." A special prosecutor is investigating whether senior Bush administration officials leaked the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame to the media in retaliation after her husband wrote an opinion piece critical of the administration. Cooper and New York Times reporter Judith Miller face jail on civil contempt charges for refusing to reveal their sources to a federal grand jury. Judge Thomas Hogan has set a final hearing on Wednesday and will make a decision after that. cnn.com

Democrat Calls on Rove to Make Statement on Probe (Update1) July 3 (Bloomberg) -- A Senate Democrat called on Karl Rove, President George W. Bush's top political adviser, to make a public statement denying any role in the 2003 leak of an undercover intelligence agent's identity. Senator Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat, said that while there is no evidence that Rove leaked the identity of Central Intelligence Agency operative Valerie Plame to reporters, Rove should address the matter himself instead of issuing denials through his attorney. ``I think the American people would feel a whole lot better if Karl Rove himself got up and made a statement that he did not leak the information, nor did he order anybody else to leak the information,'' Schumer said on ABC's ``This Week.'' ``That would totally clear his name.'' bloomberg.com
