From NBC’s Mike Viqueira
The House Judiciary Committee is "strongly considering" offering former DoJ official Monica Goodling immunity in exchange for her testimony in the U.S. Attorney matter, according to one very solid congressional source.
Goodling had preemptively asserted her Fifth Amendment rights and has declined to be interviewed or to testify before Congress. Last week Goodling's lawyer exchanged sharply worded letters with House Judiciary over her refusal to testify and over whether or not she had rightfully invoked the Fifth.
Per Pete Williams, Goodling's attorney, John Dowd, has no comment on the immunity question.
As a reminder, Goodling has resigned from DoJ.
