US judge refuses to dismiss Libby's indictment
A federal judge in Washington DC today refused to dismiss charges against Lewis Libby, the former top White House aide who was indicted on perjury and obstruction charges last year in the CIA leak scandal.
In a 31-page opinion, US District Judge Reggie Walton turned down a motion by lawyers for Vice President Dick Cheney’s one-time top assistant, who challenged the authority of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald to handle the case.
