UPDATE:
Details were to be outlined at 2 p.m. ET, when Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald will hold a press conference at the Justice Department. The grand jury that handed up the indictment had been hearing the case for nearly two years and its term expires Friday.
Source: "Lewis 'Scooter' Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, was indicted today by a grand jury on one count of obstruction of justice, two counts of making false statements and two counts of perjury in the CIA leak probe. The indictments are the first in a nearly two-year investigation into the public unmasking of an undercover CIA operative."
Rove advises that his status has not changed- still under investigation. Not yet charged. From NBC Special Report.
"A news release from special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said Libby was indicted on one count of obstruction of justice and two counts each of perjury and making false statements.
The release said Libby allegedly lied "about how and when in 2003 he learned and subsequently disclosed to reporters then classified information concerning the employment of Valerie Wilson by the Central Intelligence Agency." (Posted 12:52 p.m.)"
