In the Libby Trial, Jill Abramson, Managing Editor for the New York Times Washington Bureau said:
Jeffress: Did you have "working relationship" with Judith Miller?
Jill Abramson: I did, I was not her main editor, she did not report out of the bureau
Jeffress: In July 2003, were you working with Ms Miller on a story?
Jill Abramson: She was doing companion piece to larger investigative effort by bureau reporters on flaws in pre-war intell, and Judy Miller was working on companion piece on fruitless search in Iraq. I was editing that.
Jeffress: Recall that July 6 NYT carried op-ed by Wilson? Did that article cause something of a stir?
Jill Abramson: It caused a stir, in the ensuing week we had reporters chasing that story.
Jeffress: Did Judith Miller come to you to recommend NYT pursue story?
Jill Abramson: I have no recollection of such a conversation.

Bonamici: In your dealings with Ms Miller, did you sometimes find your self tuning out of conversations?
Jill Abramson: It’s possible that I occasionally tune her out.
… Witness Dismissed …
