Libby Trial

The Libby Trial involved Scooter Libby, who was an aide to Vice President Cheney. He was charged with lying and obstructing justice during an investigation into the leak of CIA officer Valerie Plame's identity in 2003. The case centered on whether Libby deliberately provided false information to investigators about how he learned about Plame's role, and whether he obstructed the investigation to conceal the truth. Ultimately, Libby was convicted of perjury and obstruction, highlighting issues related to political transparency and accountability during the Bush administration.
