The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, frustrated by his own battles with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, has asked the Justice Department’s top investigator to examine Gonzales’s “potential misleading, evasive or dishonest testimony.”
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) on Thursday asked Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine for the investigation.
“I have identified numerous instances in which the Attorney General appears to have contradicted his own previous testimony or the statements or testimony of other senior officials, or where he appears to have engaged in efforts to mislead,” Leahy wrote. “I have given him an opportunity to clarify and revise his testimony, but he has not meaningfully addressed our significant concerns.”
