President Bush's former spokesman, Scott McClellan, will testify
before a House committee next week about whether Vice President
Dick Cheney ordered him to make misleading public statements about
the leaking of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity.
McClellan's lawyers said he has accepted House Judiciary Committee
Chairman John Conyers' invitation to testify June 20. The attorneys
said McClellan will appear and be sworn during the proceedings.

McClellan said he was misled by others, possibly including Cheney,
about the role of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby in the leak
and has said publicly that Bush and Cheney "directed me to
go out there and exonerate Scooter Libby."
Plame's CIA identity was leaked to the news media by several
top Bush administration officials in 2003, including Libby and
former top White House political adviser Karl Rove.
