McClellan to testify before House in CIA leak case

By LAURIE KELLMAN

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush's former spokesman, Scott McClellan, will testify before a House committee next week about whether Vice President Dick Cheney ordered him to make misleading public statements about the leaking of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity.

McClellan will testify publicly and under oath before the House Judiciary Committee on June 20 about the White House's role in the leak and its response, his attorneys, Michael and Jane Tigar, said on Monday.

Good thing the president is in Europe, taking his farewell tour and finding out how much he's despised, because between McClellan, Abramoff and the D.C. weather, things appear to be getting pretty hot for him at home.
