A federal judge showed no sign that he would delay I. Lewis ''Scooter'' Libby's prison term in the CIA leak case Thursday -- even as he reported getting threatening letters and phone calls after sentencing the former White House aide.
''I received a number of angry, harassing, mean-spirited phone calls and letters,'' U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton said. ''Some of those were wishing bad things on me and my family.''
Walton made the remarks as he opened a hearing into whether to delay Libby's 2 1/2-year sentence while the former White House aide appeals. Walton heard arguments on the request and was scheduled to continue them Thursday afternoon.
