by Ari Shapiro, NPR

Despite the resignation of Kyle Sampson, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales's chief of staff, on Monday, the Justice Department initially took steps to establish him as a lawyer elsewhere in the department. On Tuesday, he left Justice Department entirely.

There are plans for officials from the Justice Department and White House to testify before Congress next week.
