WASHINGTON -- Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) called Sunday for White House aide Karl Rove to comment in person on the case of a CIA agent whose cover was blown in the media.
Schumer's demand came after Saturday reports that Rove, White House deputy chief of staff, spoke to a Time magazine reporter about agent Valerie Plame.
Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, told Newsweek that Rove never revealed classified information or told Time reporter Matthew Cooper that Plame worked for the CIA.
"We've heard it from his lawyer, but it would be nice to hear it directly from Mr. Rove that he didn't leak the identity of Valerie Plame," Schumer said.
