Former U.S. Attorney Iglesias signs book deal

He’s mentioned the possibility for several months, but news spread on Friday that David Iglesias, the former U.S. attorney for New Mexico, has signed a deal to write a book about his experiences.

The book is expected to focus heavily on his time in the Bush Administration and his role in the scandal that resulted in the firings of several U.S. attorneys last year. Iglesias’ public allegations caused the firings to become a national scandal that is leading to a coming showdown between Congress and the Bush Administration.

The book promises to include a number of interesting discussions of the operation of the Department of Justice and White House. It will be published by John Wiley & Sons and is expected to be released in April 2008, TPM Muckraker is reporting.
