Republicans have a different story to tell today concerning a Sand Mountain attorney's interview on 60 Minutes last night.
Jill Simpson is from Rainsville.
She talked about her experience working for Alabama republicans.
Simpson alleged that Karl Rove lead a secret five year campaign to get Democratic Governor Don Siegelman.
Here is the rebuttal today from Alabama.
Simpson was just a low level party employee who would not have had the kind of access she claims.
She never mentioned any personal conversations with Rove before.. Even when she was giving a sworn deposition to Congress.
And they also say that.. despite claiming to be a party insider.. No one in the state party had ever heard of her until she began making accusations.
Meanwhile... Attorneys for Don Siegelman want the Justice Department to step in.
They are asking for a special prosecutor to look into his case.
They say prosecutors told a key government witness to write out his allegations against the Governor to.. Quote... "get his story straight."
The incident was also talked about in the 60 minutes report.
