Libby Bombshell: The Tom Cruise Connection January 24, 2007, Daniel Schulman, Mother Jones

---

One of the more entertaining revelations to come out in the Scooter Libby trial thus far, drawing a collective guffaw in the press gallery, arrived this afternoon in the testimony of Craig Schmall, Libby's one-time CIA briefer. According to Schmall, during a briefing on June 14, 2003 at Libby's home, the veep's chief of staff brought up a recent meeting he'd had with Tom Cruise and his then-squeeze Penelope Cruz. Schmall, stifling laughter, reported that "Tom Cruise was there to talk" with Libby "about how Germany treats scientologists." You can't make that stuff up.
