Rove testimony contradicts former Rep. Heather Wilson's

A document dump this week from the House Judiciary Committee’s long-running probe into the 2006 firing of nine U.S. attorneys has exposed a stark disagreement in the stories told by former White House aide Karl Rove and former Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.).

Rove says Wilson pushed the White House to fire New Mexico’s then-U.S. attorney, David Iglesias, before the Nov. 2006 election because he wasn’t moving fast enough on a corruption case involving New Mexico Democrats.

Wilson said she did no such thing, insisting that she only spoke to Rove once about Iglesias, and that was following the 2006 election at a White House breakfast.

The ex-lawmaker also said she never mentioned a New Mexico courthouse corruption investigation in her discussion with Rove, a statement that is at odds with the testimony Rove provided to the House Judiciary Committee.
