Bush aides face subpoenas ruling shocks congressional probes
A federal judge ruled senior White House advisers may not claim immunity from subpoenas, backing Congress in its probes of the nine dismissed federal prosecutors. Democrats plan September hearings and House Speaker Pelosi may push contempt citations against Karl Rove. In Washington, Alaska Senator Ted Stevens pleaded not guilty to corruption charges and set a Sept. 24 speedy trial, claiming to prove his innocence before November elections. Stevens, the Senate’s longest-serving Republican, seeks to avoid his seven-count indictment impacting his re election bid.
