Template:Stub Lewis "Scooter" Libby is a former deputy Secretary of Defense, Chief of Staff, National Security Advisor and private Attorney to Vice President Dick Cheney.
On October 28, 2005, Libby was indicted on five felony counts (1*Obstruction of Justice, 2*Making False Statements, 2*Perjury) due to his involvement in the Valerie Plame affair. On March 6, 2007, Libby was found guilty of the felony offense of lying to a grand jury. He had testified that he first learned about Joe Wilson's wife from VP Dick Cheney, and that when Tim Russert mentioned her in a phone call a month or so later, Libby told Russert that he had forgotten about her. Russert testified that no one mentioned Wilson's wife on that phone call.
