What Did The President Know & When Did He Know It?

- Democrats asked the White House on Wednesday for details of President George W. Bush's private conversations in 2003 with top political adviser Karl Rove after conflicting reports about whether Bush was aware of any role by Rove in the outing of a covert CIA operative.

Rove and Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, are at the center of federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into who leaked the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame, whose diplomat husband, Joseph Wilson, challenged the administration's prewar intelligence on Iraq.

A government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said no charges in the nearly two-year leak investigation were expected this week. But Fitzgerald was still expected to wrap up the case before the grand jury expires on October 28.
