WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Patrick Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor in the CIA leak probe, plans to ask members of the grand jury to indict Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, a lawyer involved in the case told CNN Friday.
The attorney said that Fitzgerald believes Libby misled investigators.
Indictments in the case would mark a milestone in a nearly two-year investigation into the public unmasking of an undercover CIA operative. Fitzgerald has scheduled a 2 p.m. ET news conference.
The New York Times reported on Friday that lawyers in the case said Libby will be charged with making false statements to a federal grand jury. (Profile)
