I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby (first name generally given as Irv, Irve or Irving;[1] born August 22, 1950) is an American lawyer[2][3] and former advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney.
From 2001 to 2005, Libby held the offices of Assistant to the Vice President for National Security Affairs and Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the United States.[4]
After a failed appeal, President Bush commuted Libby's sentence of 30 months in federal prison, leaving the other parts of his sentence intact.[5] As a result of his conviction in United States v. Libby, Libby's license to practice law was suspended until being reinstated in 2016.[3] President President Donald Trump pardoned Libby on April 13, 2018.[6]
