 WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House labored on Friday to explain how apparently dueling testimony from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert S. Mueller actually was not at odds.
Appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, Gonzales repeatedly and emphatically said the president's secret warrantless domestic spying program was not the subject of internal disagreement in 2004 within the Bush administration. Mueller, appearing Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee, said it was.
The apparent contradiction only compounded problems for Gonzales, who is losing support among members of both parties even as he retains that of President Bush.
