Washington - A House Judiciary Committee deadline passed Monday with former White House adviser Karl Rove standing by
his refusal to testify about allegations that he pushed the Justice Department to prosecute former Alabama Gov. Don
Siegelman.
In his latest offer to settle the matter, Rove sent the panel a letter offering to respond to questions in writing,
according to his attorney. But he reiterated that he would not testify publicly and under oath.
Committee leaders did not immediately answer questions about how they will respond. Earlier this month, they threatened
to subpoena Rove if he did not agree to appear voluntarily by Monday.
