Role in the Valerie Plame Scandal

On December 2, 2005, The New York Times reported that Novak tipped off Karl Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, about the testimony that one of her colleagues at Time Magazine, Matthew Cooper, was giving to the special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald. The tip off may have caused Rove to change his testimony [http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/02/politics/02leak.html?ei=5090&en=f8847a8847b4c88f&ex=1291179600&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss&pagewanted=print] , and saved him from being indicted on charges of perjury. Rove attributed the changed testimony to the grand jury to faulty memory.
