WASHINGTON (AP) - Former White House adviser Karl Rove has
ignored a subpoena from congressional Democrats to appear at a
hearing on alleged political influence at the Justice Department.
Democrats subpoenaed him in May to force his testimony about
whether he was involved in firing federal prosecutors. They also
wanted to know if he sought to influence prosecutorial decisions,
including in the corruption case against former Democratic Alabama
Gov. Don Siegelman.
Rove had been scheduled to appear at a House Judiciary
subcommittee hearing Thursday morning.
The panel was debating "appropriate action" over his refusal
to show.
Siegelman was convicted on corruption charges in 2006. Democrats
are investigating whether Rove encouraged the Justice Department to
pursue the case.
