Fleischer could testify today Attorneys for former vice presidential aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby are seeking to limit the testimony of former White House spokesman Ari Fleischer in the CIA leak case, NBC News has learned.
Fleischer, who made a brief appearance at the courthouse on Thursday, is expected to testify as early as Monday that he learned that the wife of Bush administration critic Joseph Wilson worked for the CIA from Libby, a former top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney.
Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald says that in early 2004, as his leak investigation was heating up, Fleischer stepped forward with an offer to prosecutors: Promise no prosecution and he would help their case.
