Leahy Plans Contempt Vote

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., scheduled a committee vote for Thursday to consider whether four White House officials, including Karl Rove, are in contempt for disobeying Senate subpoenas.

The move comes after the officials failed to respond to Leahy's demand last week that they immediately provide testimony and documents related to an investigation by the Senate Judiciary Committee into the firing of eight U.S. attorneys last year.

The officials had previously failed to obey the subpoenas, which the committee issued last summer.
