(InfoWorld) - Several people connected to the Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) board scandal have been invited to testify at a U.S. House subcommittee hearing Sept. 28 on the issue ofÂ pretexting to get confidential phone records. Patricia Dunn, chairman of HP's board, and Ann Baskins, HP's general counsel, have been invited to testify at a hearing of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee in Washington, D.C. Also invited to testify is Larry Sonsini, lead outside counsel for HP, and Ronald DeLia, managing director of Security Outsourcing Solutions Inc., a Needham, Massachusetts, corporate security company identified as having been hired by HP to investigate who on the board leaked news of a confidential strategy session to the media. HP and outside firms it hired to conduct the investigation are facingÂ possible criminal charges in California for using pretexting to surreptitiously gain access to the personal phone records of HP directors and nine journalists. Dunn has agreed to resign as chairman come January as a result of her role in the investigation, but will remain on the board. Sonsini, chairman of the law firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, advised HP on the legality of its investigation of the leaks. The committee is considering federal legislation to outlaw pretexting in the U.S. and put other limits on the work of so-called data brokers who gather information for clients. Sometimes their means are duplicitous, such as impersonating an individual to gain unauthorized access to confidential records. HP is being investigated by the Attorneys General of California and Massachusetts, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Attorney's office for actions it took to investigate the board leaks that may have violated the law. Terry Lane, a spokesman for the House committee, said the witnesses have not been subpoenaed to testify but could not say what the committee might do if they declined the invitation. Although HP has said it is willing to cooperate on investigations into the pretexting case, spokesman Mike Moeller said the company would not comment specifically on whether Dunn and Baskins would accept the invitation to testify. Neither of the others responded to a request for comment. Â

The defense in I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's perjury trial opens Monday, but White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove is not expected to be called as a witness, two sources close to the defense said.     Just last month, Rove and presidential counselor Dan Bartlett received subpoenas informing them they could be called to testify. A flurry of reports circulated suggesting that the White House aides might be forced to provide testimony damaging to the president.     Libby's attorneys refused to comment on whether Rove would testify, but Rove's legal team has been told at this point not to expect it, the sources said. (Watch how the Libby trial has revealed White House intrigue)    Libby's attorneys could still change their minds, but a source close to Rove said the White House official has been told that his chances of being called as a defense witness are between "zero and nil."    Libby is charged with lying to investigators and a grand jury investigating the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. Knowingly identifying a covert agent is illegal.
