More details on the Rove/Fitzgerald dealings from Washington Post reporter Jim VandeHei on MSNBC:

We have more detail on what’s happening with Karl Rove. We know that something happened in the last couple of days that Rove’s legal team was able to provide to Fitzgerald, that according to one Rove associate, “gave Fitzgerald pause” about charging Rove. They think that within the next couple of weeks, not months, that the Rove part of this investigation will be wrapped up, and that it is still centered on whether he provided false statements. It’s not clear what exactly transpired. There has been this flurry of conversations between Rove and his team and Fitzgerald over the last week, with Rove trying to convince him, like, “Look, I may have forgotten some things but I did not lie.”

White House says.

In response to this letter from Reps. Jane Harman (D-CA), John Conyers (D-Michigan), Tom Lantos (D-CA) and Rush Holt (D-NJ), Fitzgerald will release a public report on the investigation, MSNBC reports. (MSNBC just retracted this report.)

The White House is trying its best to appear positive today. President Bush appeared smiling and laughing before reporters this morning, while Karl Rove said he was in a “very good mood today. I’m going to have a very good day.”

Washington Post to report Libby to be indicted on 4 charges of lying to the grand jury, according to Fox News.

As reported on CNN:

The special counsel has advised Mr. Rove that he has made no decision about whether or not to bring charges and that Mr. Rove’s status has not changed. Mr. Rove will continue to cooperate fully with the special counsel’s efforts to complete the investigation. We are confident that when the special counsel completes his work he will conclude that Mr. Rove has done nothing wrong.

Fitzgerald will hold press conference.

“If a member of the White House staff is indicted, President Bush will speak on it this afternoon.”
