Viveca Novak is an
Time announced in its issue of December 5, 2005, that Novak was cooperating with Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation of the Valerie Plame leak. She is not related to Robert Novak, another journalist involved in the incident.
Role in the Valerie Plame Scandal
On December 2, 2005, The New York Times reported that Karl Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, learned from Novak that one of her colleagues at Time, Matthew Cooper, had interviewed Rove about Plame. Her conversation with Luskin may have set in motion events that caused Rove to change his earlier grand jury testimony.[1] Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald did not seek perjury charges against Rove, possibly because it was unclear whether or not Rove intended to testify falsely the first time. Rove attributed his changed testimony to faulty memory.[2] Novak wrote her own account of the experience in Time.[3]
