Wapo and NYT Differ on Karl Rove as Source
Editor and Publisher reports that while the New York Times is reporting that it was Karl Rove that called Matthew Cooper and gave him an unconditional waiver to speak to the Grand Jury while the New York Times is reporting it was not.
According to The New York Times today, "Cooper's decision to drop his refusal to testify followed discussions on Wednesday morning among lawyers representing Mr. Cooper and Karl Rove, the senior White House political adviser, according to a person who has been officially briefed on the case."
But according to the Washington Post, Rove's attorney, Robert Luskin, told the newspaper Rove was not the source who called Cooper yesterday morning and personally waived the confidentiality agreement. "Karl has not asked anybody to treat him as a confidential source with regard to this story," Luskin said.
The Wapo quote, as I noted here last night, is contained here.
