WASHINGTON -- A federal judge has refused to quash a subpoena that requires a Time magazine reporter to testify before a grand jury investigating the leak of an undercover CIA officer's identity.
Lawyers for reporter Matthew Cooper argued that he already had testified in a deposition in the case on Aug. 23, when he discussed a conversation he had had with Lewis ''Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff. Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said he needed additional information due to an ''unanticipated shift" in the grand jury's investigation.
