From the indictment:
21. On or about July 10 or July 11, 2003, LIBBY spoke to a senior official in the White House (“Official A”) who advised LIBBY of a conversation Official A had earlier that week with columnist Robert Novak in which Wilson’s wife was discussed as a CIA employee involved in Wilson’s trip. LIBBY was advised by Official A that Novak would be writing a story about Wilson’s wife.
CNN’s Larry King has just announced that sources have revealed that Official A is Karl Rove.
Fitzgerald had been asked about Official A during his press conference today and said he wasn’t sure if he could reveal Official A’s identity – that he would have to check with his colleagues. Apparently, they have decided to make that revelation tonite.
So, it looks like Rove was Novak’s source. I think Rove is in big trouble.

Crooks and Liars has the video of Fitzgerald’s press conference.
