House side sources are being very tight lipped about the Karl Rove testimony. Under the agreement reached earlier this year, none of the participants are allowed to speak publicly until all interviews have been concluded and transcripts have been released.
Having said that, we have confirmed from the congressional side that testimony did take place yesterday, and another session is planned for later this month.
"The agreement setting up the interviews contemplated that they would remain entirely confidential until all the interviews were complete," Rove's attorney Robert Luskin said in a statement to NBC News. "Out of respect for that term of the agreement, Mr. Rove is not commenting."
