US ELECTION: McAuliffe Statement on Rove Grand Jury Testimony
DNC Chairman Calls on Bush to Ask for Full and Public Disclosure

WASHINGTON, DC – Responding to breaking news today that Bush Senior Advisor Karl Rove spent over two hours testifying before the grand jury investigating the CIA leak which revealed Valerie Plame's name while she was an undercover agent, Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Terry McAuliffe released this statement.

"Two and a half hours is a long time to spend in front of a federal grand jury – a lot of information must have been shared," said McAuliffe. "Karl Rove needs to come clean and tell us what he told the grand jury today, and the President should show some leadership by making sure Karl Rove does just that. There are important questions about this criminal investigation that the White House needs to stop ducking and start answering.

"Tell us who is responsible for leaking Valerie Plame's identity. This is a serious matter; the person from the Bush White House who leaked this information is guilty of treason. This should have been resolved a long time ago. It needs to be resolved now. The American people deserve no less from their President."

US ELECTION: Lockhart Statement on Rove Testifying in CIA Leak Case

In response to reports that Karl Rove testified before the grand jury investigating the CIA leak case, Kerry-Edwards campaign Senior Adviser Joe Lockhart issued the following statement:

“With two weeks to go before the election, the American people are still in the dark about how it is that their White House leaked the name of an undercover CIA operative to the press, jeopardizing the life of this agent and possibly violating federal law.

“Instead of hiding behind the lawyers he so often likes to criticize, George Bush should direct Karl Rove and anyone else involved to go to the White House briefing room and come clean about their role in this insidious act. If the president sincerely wanted to get to the bottom of this potential crime, he’d stop the White House foot dragging and fully cooperate with this investigation.”

WASHINGTON - President Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, testified Friday before a federal grand jury trying to determine if an administration official leaked the name of an undercover CIA officer.

Rove spent more than two hours testifying before the panel, according to an administration official who spoke only on condition of anonymity because such proceedings are secret.

Before testifying, Rove was interviewed at least once by investigators probing the leak. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have also been interviewed in their offices, with Secretary of State Colin Powell, White House counsel Alberto Gonzalez and press secretary Scott McClellan among the administration officials appearing before the grand jury.

Rove's testimony in the yearlong investigation comes as the hotly contested presidential race between Bush and Democrat John Kerry enters its final weeks. Democrats wasted no time in turning Rove's appearance into criticism of the president.
