House Judiciary Committee subpoenas Rove.

The House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena today to Karl Rove, to compel him to testify about the politicization of the Justice Department, including his involvement in the firing of nine U.S. attorneys last year and the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman. The subpoena comes after Rove’s lawyer, Robert Luskin, wrote the Committee yesterday to say Rove would not testify voluntarily, contrary to what Luskin had indicated last month.
