Sampson Says Gonzales Made False Statements

Sampson Grilled by Senators on U.S. Attorney Firings: Says Gonzales Made False Statements: "Specter asked about Attorney General Gonzales' 'candor' in saying earlier this month that he was not a part of any discussions on the firings. He asked about the November 27, 2006 meeting 'where there were discussions' and Gonzales allegedly attended. Was Gonzales' statement about taking part in no discussions accurate?

'I don't think it's accurate,' Sampson said. 'He recently clarified it. But he was present at the November 27 meeting.'"
