They said the appearance, planned for the afternoon, would mark the fifth time that Rove, the deputy White House chief of staff, will have testified before a grand jury as part of the investigation. His last appearance was in October.

One source said Rove, a powerful and controversial political strategist, was asked to testify by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, that he would appear voluntarily and had not been subpoenaed.

There also has been no change in Rove's status in the criminal investigation and Rove has not been notified that he is a target likely to be indicted soon, the source said."
