(03-25) 04:00 PDT Washington -- President Bush on Saturday issued a new declaration of confidence in embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, affirming his support a day after new disclosures showed that Gonzales was more closely involved in the firings of eight U.S. attorneys than he had previously acknowledged.

Bush used his weekly radio address, taped before the latest documents were released Friday night, to back Gonzales, his loyal aide of a dozen years, and the decision to install "new leadership" in some U.S. attorney offices. He accused Democrats of attempting to "waste time and provoke an unnecessary confrontation" by seeking sworn testimony from White House aides about the dismissals.

But the disclosure late Friday that Gonzales and his aides discussed final plans for the dismissals at a Nov. 27 meeting prompted a renewed call for Gonzales' resignation from his leading Democratic critic, who said the revelations further damage the attorney general's credibility with Congress. At least four Republican lawmakers have also demanded that Gonzales quit.

"A good lawyer will tell you, when the story keeps changing, it's usually because someone has something to hide," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
