Questions for Patrick Fitzgerald from House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law Chairwoman Linda Sanchez:

Q: Many have speculated that Mr. Rove’s goal in proposing the U.S. Attorney firings was to pressure and intimidate you. When Mr. Rove made the suggestion to fire the U.S. Attorneys, he had already been before the grand jury several times in the Scooter Libby case. To your knowledge, is this account correct? Please explain why or why not. During the CIA leak investigation, were you aware of any conversations that you might be asked to resign? If so please describe all such conversations, including the substance of the conversations, when they occurred, and the names of those who participated.

Fitzgerald: I do not know if the referenced account of events is correct or not. As to whether I was aware during the relevant time period of the investigation that I might be asked to resign, I will respectfully decline to discuss matters currently at issue in a trial ongoing in the Northern District of Illinois.
