Justice Dept. Inspector General is investigating whether Gonzales gave "false or misleading testimony to Congress"

The Inspector General at the U.S. Department of Justice is still investigating outgoing Attorney General Alberto Gonzales -- and the charges are very serious

The Justice Department is investigating whether departing Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales gave false or misleading testimony to Congress on a broad range of issues, including the Bush administration's warrantless surveillance program and the removal of nine U.S. attorneys last year, the lead investigator said today.

The disclosure by Inspector General Glenn A. Fine shows that internal investigations that began with the prosecutor firings have widened substantially to include a focus on Gonzales's actions and statements.
