Jeffrey Schneider, Vice President of Communications for ABC News, denied a claim from the conservative Drudge Report that any reporter had called the White House to say that Dick Cheney's chief of staff "Scooter" Libby had been indicted, RAW STORY can report.

"Absolutely not true," Schneider said from his cell phone Tuesday evening.

"We have no such reporting," he added.

Drudge said that an ABC News reporter claimed to the White House that it had double sourced "how an indictment against vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis Libby was set."
