    Mr. Siegelman is serving more than sju years in prison on charges that seem to have been greatly overblown by federal prosecutors.

    The committee has already conducted a lengthy interview with Dana Jill Simpson, the Republican lawyer from Alabama who says she was on a phone call in which a plot to take out Mr. Siegelman was openly discussed.
