The New York Times has received two more
subpoenas from prosecutors investigating who leaked the identity of
former CIA officer Valerie Plame to the press, E&P has learned. The
subpoenas, one for reporter Judith Miller and one for the Times ( Click
for QuikCap ), seek documents and other records related to the paper's
reporting on Plame. Miller received a previous subpoena on Aug. 11
compelling her to testify before a federal grand jury investigating the
case. The two latest subpoenas arrived over the weekend. "We now have a
total of three subpoenas," Times spokeswoman Catherine Mathis said
today. "We will either have to comply or file a motion to quash by Aug.
20. The Times will move to quash." The subpoenas are the latest in a
string of actions taken in recent weeks against journalists by Special
Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald, who is leading the investigation into
the Plame identity leak. [more ]
