Then-vice president Dick Cheney told the FBI that he had no idea who leaked the CIA identity of Valerie Plame to the news media.

The FBI summary of Cheney’s interview from 2004 reflects the deep concern the vice president had about Plame’s husband, Bush White House critic Joseph Wilson, who said the administration had twisted prewar intelligence on Iraq.

Cheney’s chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was convicted of perjury, obstruction and lying to the FBI in the probe of who leaked Plame’s identity to the news media.

The FBI interview summary was released Friday to a watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
