Goodling: Gonzales and possible witness tampering

WASHINGTON - A former Justice Department official told House investigators
Wednesday that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales tried to review his version of
the prosecutor firings with her at a time when lawmakers were homing in on
conflicting accounts.

"It made me a little uncomfortable," Monica Goodling, Gonzales' former White
House liaison, said of her conversation with the attorney general just before
she took a leave of absence in March. "I just did not know if it was
appropriate for us to both be discussing our recollections of what had
happened."
