LIBBY INDICTED, RESIGNS

Vice Presidential Chief of Staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby has resigned. The action comes as special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald announced a five-count indictment against him:

  • One count of obstruction of justice
  • Two counts of perjury
  • Two counts of making false statements

He's charged with giving misleading information to the grand jury, lying to the grand jury about his conversations with three reporters, committing perjury before the grand jury in March 2004, and lying to FBI agents investigating the case. (WashPost)
