From ABC News' The Note.
(While RAW STORY has been critical of the Note's reporting recently, we have decided to carry this story largely because it identifies a specific reporter by name.)

ABC News' Jason Ryan reports:
"The grand jury hearing the leak investigation case is scheduled to meet at 9:30 am ET. Special prosecutor Fitzgerald is in town for a 1:30 pm ET hearing before Judge Walton in the Libby case. The hearing will be a status conference requested by Libby's lawyers after Fitzgerald disclosed in court papers that President Bush had authorized Libby to disclose sections of the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq's WMD."

Reports from MSNBC and the New York Times in recent days have indicated that Bush adviser Karl Rove will be told in the next week or so if he is going to be indicted. There is no indication of Rove's status from the latest ABC News report.
