Atty General Gonzales resigns

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales informed President Bush of his resignation. The formal announcement is expected this afternoon. He denies the claim that the scandal involving the firing of US Attorneys, including the firing of Nevada US Attorney Dan Bogden, is the cause of his resignation. The NY Times reports on the story here.

Talk Left reports that Michael Chertoff is rumored to be the new nominee for Attorney General.
