A Republican who is close to several administration officials, and who was granted anonymity to discuss internal thinking at the White House, said the White House was troubled that the Libby trial, which is scheduled to begin in January, has the potential to expose some of the inner workings of the vice president's office.
"There's not concern about showing any illegalities as much as there is a window into the policy process that will be unflattering to the vice president," this person said.
