Karl Rove Denies Recollection of Phone Call
June 25th, 2007A reporter from the Huntsville Times caught up with White House political strategist Karl Rove last Thursday while President Bush was in Alabama for a photo op at a problematic nuclear power plant. The reporter asked Rove about the allegations made by a Republican lawyer Jill Simpon in an affidavit reported on at length below.
Rove’s response (with a smile, according to the TPM Muckraker) to “such an explosive accusation?”
“I know nothing about any phone call,” Rove said. At which point a White House press aide stepped up and said, “What he meant to say was that he has no comment.”
