House Panel Votes to Cite Rove for Contempt
A House panel voted Wednesday to cite Karl Rove, formerly President Bush's top aide, for contempt of Congress as its Senate counterpart explored punishment for alleged misdeeds by other administration officials. Voting 20-14 along party lines, the House Judiciary Committee cited Rove with contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena to testify on allegations of improper White House influence over the Justice Department. Rove has denied any involvement with Justice decisions.
