Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, who had faced scrutiny and criticism
over the firing of a group of U.S. attorneys, has resigned from his
position.
Gonzales was sworn in as the nation's 80th attorney general on Feb. 3,
2005. He had vowed to stay in his position, and President Bush has been
unwavering in his support for Gonzales, who has repeatedly denied that
the firings were politically motivated.
CNN's Web site reported that President Bush is likely to nominate
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff (Oy Vey!) to serve as the next
attorney general.
An official announcement is expected later Monday morning.
