Klaus Marre reports for The Hill: "Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), at the urging of the panel's ranking member, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), on Tuesday requested a meeting with President Bush to hammer out a deal that would allow key White House aides to testify before the panel on the firing of several US attorneys. Leahy indicated that this is a last-ditch effort, saying that his previous efforts to get the White House to cooperate have failed to yield results. 'The stonewalling leaves me and the Senate Judiciary Committee with few options other than considering citations for contempt of Congress.'"
