Immunity for ex-Justice aide
From Times Wire Reports
A federal judge approved an immunity deal allowing former Justice Department aide Monica M. Goodling to testify before Congress about the firing of eight federal prosecutors.
Goodling, who served as the department’s White House liaison, has refused to discuss the firings without a guarantee that she will not be prosecuted. Congress agreed to the deal, Justice Department investigators reluctantly agreed not to oppose it and U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan gave it final approval.
