Goodling Accuses McNulty of Misleading Congress

May 23 (Bloomberg) -- A former top Justice Department aide denied knowledge
of any improper White House role in the firing of eight U.S. attorneys and
accused Deputy Attorney General Paul McNulty of misleading Congress about the
dismissals.

Monica Goodling, the former White House liaison for Attorney General Alberto
Gonzales, told the House Judiciary Committee she had no discussions before the
firings with Karl Rove, Bush's top political adviser, or then-White House
Counsel Harriet Miers.
