<>Time Reporter Testifies About Contacts With Rove

The reporter with whom Karl Rove discussed a covert CIA operative 
testified before a grand jury yesterday, as President Bush appeared 
publicly with his top White House political adviser and cautioned 
against prejudging the federal leak investigation.

Matthew Cooper, the Time magazine reporter who for months had refused to 
disclose private conversations with Rove, emerged from a federal 
courthouse here after more than two hours of testimony but shed little 
light on what he told prosecutors.

A number of legal experts, some of whom are involved in the case, said 
evidence that has emerged publicly suggests Rove or other administration 
officials face potential legal threats on at least three fronts.
