David Iglesias has responded to the news of a deal to secure Karl Rove and Harriet Miers’ testimony about the firings of Iglesias and seven other US Attorneys.

In a statement to TPMmuckraker, Iglesias, whose firing as US Attorney for the district of New Mexico was deemed the “most troubling” by a Justice Department report released last year, said:

Today’s agreement represents true progress in this matter which has been on-going for over two years. I trust that the initial private testimony of Mr. Rove and Ms. Miers will become public at the soonest possible date.
