White House Liaison Monica Goodling Again Refuses to Testify Before Congress on U.S. Attorney Firings

by on

Follow up to March 29, 2007 posting, Conyers Announces Justice Department Deal to Begin Staff Interviews, these two related letters:

  • “Today, House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) and Subcommittee Chairwoman Linda Sánchez (D-CA) sent a letter to the Attorney General’s Special Counsel and White House Liaison Monica Goodling, through her attorney John M. Dowd, requesting her cooperation in closed-door interviews in connection with the ongoing US Attorney scandal. Dowd sent a letter last week to House and Senate leaders advising them that Goodling would invoke her Fifth Amendment privilege in response to such invitations; however, the two lawmakers argue that previous Supreme Court rulings require individuals to respond on a question-by-question basis and a closed-door interview could relieve the need for further, public questioning should she volunteer to participate.”
  • Via FindLaw, Lawyers for Dept. of Justice Counsel and White House Liasion Marcia Goodling respond to another inquiry by the House Judiciary Committee about having her testify before Congress.”
