Wilson was subpoenaed to testify as a witness for the defense in the Libby trial on 12/13/06.
Wilson filed to quash the subpoena on 12/20/06 on the grounds that he has no knowledge of Libby's conversations with government officials or reporters nor would Wilson have any knowledge that would be relevant regarding Libby's defense arguments.
CREW, Citizens for Ethics in Washington, is representing Wilson and has issued the following
CREW filed a motion to quash the subpoena on December 20, 2006 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Judge Reggie B. Walton has ordered Mr. Libby to respond to the motion by January 2, 2007, with Mr. Wilson's reply due by January 8, 2007. The matter has been set for oral argument before Judge Walton on January 10, 2007.
CREW
The Wilson motion lays out the charges against Libby and the reasons that Wilson's testimony would not be relevant.
Mr. Wilson, however, has no personal knowledge regarding either the indictment or Mr. Libby's defense. He does not know when, the manner and by which means Mr. Libby acquired and subsequently disclosed to the media information concerning the employment of Valerie Wilson by the CIA. Neither does Mr. Wilson have any personal knowledge as to whether Mr. Libby made false statements to agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or whether Mr. Libby made false declarations under oath before a grand jury.
MOTION OF NON-PARTY JOSEPH C.WILSON IV TO QUASH SUBPOENA
Libby's defense is that he mis-remembered conversations with government officials and reporters due to a faulty memory and that he was focused on national security matters in June and July of 2003 and that the errors in his testimony to the FBI and the Grand Jury were a 'result of confusion, mistake or faulty memory'.
Moreover, Mr. Wilson neither worked nor socialized with Mr. Libby. In fact, the two have never even met. As a result, Mr. Wilson has no information regarding Mr. Libby's employment of the "pressing matters" that occupied Mr. Libby's attention, he does not know whether Mr. Libby has or had a faulty memory, and he does not know whether Mr. Libby was confused or "misremembered" facts when he spoke with the FBI or testified before the grand jury.
