John Conyers, Chairman of the committee, accuses the Department of Justice of “withholding significant information” from the Congressional investigation into the firings.”

Press release: “Today, Senators Leahy, Schumer, Kohl, Feingold, Feinstein and Whitehouse sent a letter to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales seeking documents relating to the Wisconsin prosecution of a member of the Democratic governors administration. In light of the ongoing probe into the U.S. Attorney firings, the Senators are concerned that politics may have played an inappropriate role in the case brought by Stephen Biskupic, the U.S. Attorney in Milwaukee. Last week, the aide, Georgia Thompson, was released from prison and her conviction immediately overturned after a federal appeals court found insufficient evidence to sustain the charges.
