Viveca Novak

Viveca Novak, a Time magazine reporter who has written about the Valerie Plame leak investigation, testified under oath about "conversations" she had starting in October 2003 with Robert D. Luskin, a "lawyer for Karl Rove." [1]

"The request for Ms. Novak's testimony is the first tangible sign in weeks" that Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has "not completed his inquiry into Mr. Rove's actions and may still be considering charges against him," David Johnston wrote in the November 28, 2005, New York Times.
