Officials Describe Interference by Former Gonzales Aide
Interim US attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeffrey A. Taylor, wanted to hire prosecutor Seth Adam Meinero. Monica M. Goodling, aide to Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, stalled the hiring. The tussle over Meinero, who was eventually hired at Taylor's insistence, led to a Justice Department investigation of whether Goodling improperly weighed political affiliation when reviewing applicants for rank-and-file prosecutor jobs. Goodling is testifying today before the House Judiciary Committee about the US attorney firings under an offer of immunity.
