Libby Returns to Court in CIA Leak Case

By TONI LOCY, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 1 minute ago

WASHINGTON - A former White House aide accused in the leak of a
CIA operative's identity returned to federal court Friday for a hearing where his lawyers and prosecutors plan to report on the exchange of evidence in the high-profile case.

I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, stopped for coffee and made small talk with reporters as he headed to a conference room on the second floor of the courthouse.

U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton scheduled the Friday hearing to determine what progress was being made in the perjury and obstruction of justice case against Libby.

Walton was not expected to hear arguments on motions that Libby's lawyers have filed over disputes they have with Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. Instead, the judge was likely to set deadlines for additional motions and schedule future hearings. He may also set a trial date

1. Hopefully soon he'll be making small talk with trustys as he heads

to his job in the prison laundry room.
