WASHINGTON, April 17 (UPI) -- A U.S. House panel has invited former White House aide Karl Rove to testify on whether the prosecution of a former Alabama governor was politically motivated.
Don Siegelman was freed from prison last month, at least temporarily, while an appeals court considers his claim that he was the victim of a political prosecution. Siegelman, a Democrat, says he was targeted to prevent him from running for governor against a Republican incumbent.
