WASHINGTON (AP) - A House Judiciary panel will take a closer
look next week at whether Bush Administration officials
inappropriately influenced the prosecution of former Democratic
Gov. Don Siegelman.
The committee chairman, Democrat John Conyers of Michigan, has
scheduled a subcommittee hearing for Tuesday on the case and two
others in which Democrats have alleged selective prosecution by the
Justice Department.
The hearing had been scheduled for last week but was postponed.
A committee spokeswoman said a witness list would be released
later this week.
She declines to say whether anyone from Alabama would testify.
Siegelman, elected in 1998, was convicted last year on federal
bribery, conspiracy and mail fraud charges following a lengthy
investigation that began in 2002. He recently began serving a
prison sentence of more than seven years.
