McClellan to Testify in Congress

Scott McClellan will go to Capitol Hill to testify next week about his allegation that Vice President Cheney “directed” him to lie about who leaked CIA a operative’s identity.

From AP:

McClellan’s lawyers said he has accepted House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers’ invitation to testify June 20. The attorneys said McClellan will appear and be sworn during the proceedings.

McClellan said he was misled by others, possibly including Cheney, about the role of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby in the leak and has said publicly that Bush and Cheney “directed me to go out there and exonerate Scooter Libby.”
