Goodling To Testify On May 23

Monica Goodling, a former senior aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Justice Department liaison to the White House, will testify on Wednesday, May 23, before the House Judiciary Committee, the panel announced.

Goodling is a key player in the ongoing congressional probe into the mass firing of U.S. attorneys last year, and the Judiciary Committee sought and was granted a limited-use immunity deal in return for her testimony in this probe. Without immunity, Goodling had refused to answer any questions about her role in the firings, and instead invoked her Fifth Amendment right not incriminate herself.
