Subpoena for Rove approved amid probe uproar
Senators joined House committees to authorize subpoenas forcing Karl Rove and other aides to testify on the firings of federal prosecutors. White House offered private, off the record testimony, while lawmakers push for public transcripts and full inquiry into politically charged removals and potential pressures on investigations. Gonzales pledged cooperation amid calls for resignation as probes deepen.

House postpones vote on giving DC Utah new seats
Washington lawmakers delayed a voting rights bill granting full House representation to District of Columbia residents and Utah assertively pressed a repeal of D C handgun limits. Democrats stalled amid gun control disputes while Republicans demanded a quick vote on repealing the D C handgun ban. Mayor Adrian Fenty warned the move would backfire. Speaker Pelosi hailed the historic step before the delay.
