Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald "has returned his attention to White House adviser Karl Rove, interviewing a Rove colleague with detailed questions about contacts that President Bush's close aide had with reporters in the days leading up to the outing of a covert CIA officer," the Los Angeles Times reports.
"Fitzgerald has also dispatched FBI agents to comb the CIA agent's residential neighborhood in Washington, asking neighbors again whether they were aware -- before her name appeared in a syndicated column -- that the agent, Valerie Plame, worked for the CIA."
Reuters interviews one neighbor who said he didn't know.
Meanwhile, CBS News is reporting that Rove and Libby may be "secondary players" and that a "Mr. X" was responsible for leaking the identity of Plame.
Update: White House chief of staff Andy Card cancelled a fundraiser in Wisconsin tonight, according to Hotline On Call.
