CLG: Assistant U.S. Attorney Cowden Refuses to Testify at Vitter Hearing --Assistant U.S. Attorney William Cowden Refuses to Appear and Testify at November 28, 2007 'DC Madam' Hearing 21 Nov 2007 By Lori Price The so-called DC Madam, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, has requested the appearance of Assistant U. S. Attorney William Cowden to testify upon the allegations he made under oath last March in order to obtain the temporary restraining order from Judge Kessler. In response, the government has stated: "If you wish to present Mr. Cowden as a witness, you will need to subpoena him. We will oppose that subpoena."
He did not witness anything himself. His allegations were based on what actual witnesses told him under oath. Whatever the attorney would say is pure hearsay and inadmissible.
4. Well, the cite says this...maybe there's an aspect in there that isn't immediately apparent
Ms. Palfrey requested the appearance of Assistant U. S.
