House Vote Delayed on Goodling ImmunityThe House Judicary Committee was set to vote today on whether to confer immunity on Monica Goodling, the former Justice Department liaison to the White House. At the request of Republicans on the panel, the vote has been delayed for one week.
The statement from Chairman John Conyers (D-MI):
“At the request of our Ranking Minority Member, Lamar Smith, I have announced a one-week delay in the Committee vote to apply for immunity for Monica Goodling. It is my hope that a short delay, agreed to in the spirit of bipartisan cooperation, will enable the Minority to join us in taking this critical step in our efforts to uncover the truth about why the U.S. Attorneys were terminated and what it means for the integrity of federal law enforcement. I continue to believe that Ms. Goodling would be a key witness in our investigation.”
