The House Judiciary Committee is set to vote on whether to grant Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's former counsel immunity from prosecution and force her to testify about the firings of eight federal prosecutors. "I am hopeful we can approve immunity so that we can schedule her to testify as soon as possible and begin to clear up the many inconsistencies and gaps surrounding this matter," said Chairman John Conyers.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's assertion that he was not involved in identifying the eight US attorneys who were asked to resign last year is at odds with a recently released internal Department of Justice email. That email said that Gonzales supported firing one federal prosecutor six months before she was asked to leave.

New details emerging from Justice Department interviews and emails suggest that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and perhaps President Bush were more active than they've acknowledged in the firings last year of eight US attorneys, lawmakers said Monday.
