Rove July 7 Interview: Page 286
Q Did you or anyone at OPA have any communications with Mr. Christie or his office after he started as U.S. Attorney?
A I talked to him twice in the last couple of years, perhaps one time while I was at the White House and once or twice since I left the White House, but -- not regarding his duties as U.S. Attorney, but regarding his interest in running for Governor, and he asked me questions about who -- who were good people that knew about running for Governor that he could talk to.
Q Now, again, it is a matter of public record that on November 1, 2006, the chief of staff for the Deputy Attorney General, Mike Elston, sent a list of other possibilities for U.S. Attorneys to be removed to Kyle Sampson, and Mr. Christie was on that list. It is actually at page 40 to 41 of the IG report.
Were you aware of that?
A No.
