Karl Rove Won't Be Charged in CIA Leak Case

President Bush�s political adviser Karl Rove won�t be charged with any wrongdoing in connection to the investigation of the leak of a covert CIA officer�s identity, Rove's lawyer said Tuesday.

Rove learned of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's decision on Monday after he stepped off a plane in New Hampshire where he was delivering a speech to state Republican officials.

�We believe that the special counsel's decision should put an end to the baseless speculation about Mr. Rove's conduct,� Rove attorney Robert Luskin said in a statement. "In deference to the pending case, we will not make any further public statements about the subject matter of the investigation."

Fitzgerald�s decision ends speculation into the investigation that started in 2004 that Bush could lose his longtime political aide if criminal charges came down against him.

Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Rove, said the White House official "is elated" and said that "we're done."

Rove has testified five times in the case; his last appearance before a federal grand jury was in April when Fitzgerald told him he was not a target of the investigation.
