Rove, President Bush's chief political strategist, will be asked about discussions his attorney had with Time magazine reporter Viveca Novak, the source said. Novak testified last year that she alerted Rove's lawyer in early 2004 that Rove had leaked information to her colleague, Matthew Cooper, about CIA operative Valerie Plame.
Rove's appearance this afternoon would mark the fifth time he has testified before a grand jury in connection with the leak.
