Grand jury to review call logs from Bush’s jet in probe of
how a CIA agent’s cover was blown

WASHINGTON -- The federal grand jury probing the leak
of a covert CIA officer's identity has subpoenaed records
of Air Force One telephone calls in the week before the
officer's name was published in a column in July,
according to documents obtained by Newsday.
Also sought in the wide-ranging document requests
contained in three grand jury subpoenas to the Executive
Office of President George W. Bush are records created
in July by the White House Iraq Group, a little-known
internal task force established in August 2002 to create a
strategy to publicize the threat posed by Saddam
Hussein.
And the subpoenas asked for a transcript of a White
House spokesman's press briefing in Nigeria, a list of
those attending a birthday reception for a former
president, and, casting a much wider net than previously
reported, records of White House contacts with more
than two dozen journalists and news media outlets.
The three subpoenas were issued to the White House on
Jan. 22, three weeks after Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S.
attorney in Chicago, was appointed special counsel in
the probe and during the first wave of appearances by
White House staffers before the grand jury.
