Rove’s lawyer acknowledges he was Time reporter’s source
Top White House aide Karl Rove discussed a former US ambassador and his CIA agent wife with a Time magazine reporter, according to a report.
The Newsweek weekly quoted Rove lawyer Robert Luskin as confirming that Rove was the source who gave information to Time reporter Matt Cooper under a pledge of confidentiality, and last week released him to testify about that conversation to a grand jury.
Cooper had been ordered by a US federal judge to testify before the grand jury investigating whether the agent’s identity was illegally leaked.
