Goodling Testimony
Monica Goodling served in the Department of Justice and was the Justice Department's liaison to the White House. As such, she had helped coordinate the dismissal of the attorneys with the White House. Congress had called Goodling to testify regarding her role in the dismissals, but after originally agreeing to appear, Goodling cancelled, citing the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. On April 6, 2007, Monica Goodling resigned from her position at the Department of Justice.

Famous quotes containing the word testimony:
“I have been too long acquainted with human nature to have great regard for human testimony; and a very great degree of probability, supported by various concurrent circumstances, conspiring in one point, will have much greater weight with me, than human testimony upon oath, or even upon honour; both of which I have frequently seen considerably warped by private views.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
