Justice Dept. Search for Rove E-Mails Yields Little

JUSTICE DEPT SEARCH FOR ROVE E-MAILS YIELDS LITTLE
[SOURCE: Washington Post, AUTHOR: Paul Kane]
The Justice Department told Congress yesterday that a search of e-mails sent over 2 1/2 years turned up a single message in which the department's senior officials communicated with White House adviser Karl Rove about the dismissals of nine U.S. attorneys last year. In a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick J. Leahy (D-VT), a senior Justice official said the department scoured its computers in response to a subpoena and found just the single e-mail chain written earlier this year. It already had been released publicly. The possibility that Rove had a role in the removal of the U.S. attorneys has become a central issue in Congress's investigation.
