ABC News' Lindsay Hamilton Reports: Seven members of the Senate Judiciary Committee populated the Sunday talk shows to discuss the latest on embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who has called for Gonzales to resign, questioned his ability to run the department, accusing him of "cronyism and incompetence."
The ranking Republican on the committee, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Penn., told CBS's Bob Schieffer, "It's very important for the country that we clear the air and get the Justice Department back functioning."
On Saturday, President Bush expressed his confidence in Gonzales, and today White House Counsel Dan Bartlett re-affirmed that message. Bartlett said that Bush has asked Gonzales to go to Capitol Hill to explain his decision-making. The attorney general is scheduled to appear before the Judiciary Committee on April 17, but Bartlett says that's not soon enough.
"Let's move it up and let's get to the facts," Bartlett told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
