Reporter testifies before grand jury again

New York Times reporter Judith Miller today gave prosecutors details of a previously undisclosed conversation she had with Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff, adding a new dimension to the criminal investigation into the leak of a covert CIA officer’s identity.

Miller testified for over an hour to a federal grand jury in Washington, the reporter’s second appearance before the panel. Yesterday, Miller turned over to special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald notes from her June 23, 2003, contact with I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby and underwent questioning by prosecutors.
