Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 (UPI) -- NBC's Tim Russert said on "Meet the Press" Sunday that he didn't tell I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby Valerie Plame's name or that she worked for the CIA.
Russert said he was subpoenaed, NBC fought the subpoena and lost, and he testified before the special counsel Aug. 7, 2003.
Russert said he didn't know Plame's name or that she was a CIA operative and did not provide information to Libby. He said the first time he learned the information was when he later read a column by Robert Novak, which would have been four days after his conversation with Libby.
For the record, Libby called to complain about a report he had been watched on MSNBC, Russert said.
Russert pointed out that the indictment handed up against Libby Friday says: "At the time of this July 10 conversation with Tim Russert, Libby was well aware that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA. In fact, Libby had participated in multiple prior conversations concerning this topic" in June and early July, before talking to Russert July 10, 2003.
Special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald said Libby testified he had learned about Plame from Russert.
