WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- President George Bush's press secretary and a former press aide have been questioned by a special prosecutor about the leak of a CIA agent's name.
The New York Times said Scott McClellan and Adam Levine were questioned Friday at a federal courthouse in Washington.
Levine left the Bush administration in December after working as the principal liaison between the White House and television networks.
Armed with handwritten White House notes, detailed cell phone logs and copies of e-mail messages between White House aides and reporters, prosecutors have demanded explanations of conversations between aides and reporters for some of the country's largest news organizations that normally would never be publicly discussed.
So far, no reporter has been questioned or subpoenaed.
Prosecutors have given no hints about who they suspect leaked information to columnist Robert Novak, who wrote in the Washington Post last July 14 that the wife of former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, a critic of the administration's Iraq policy, was Valerie Plame, a CIA undercover officer.
