More tapes were played Monday in the perjury case against former vice presidential aide Lewis “Scooter” Libby.

Jurors heard Washington Post Bob Woodward’s interview with former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, who told him CIA analyst Valerie Plame was married to Joseph Wilson, the former ambassador who accused the White House of inflating fears of Iraq’s nuclear ambitions. (Read more from Woodward, columnist Robert Novak testimony)

Last week, NBC’s Tim Russert said he did not discuss the CIA operative with Libby in July 2003, offering an account sharply at odds with Libby’s recorded testimony heard earlier by the jury. (Read more from Russert testimony here)

Libby maintains that he first heard about Plame from Russert on July 10, 2003. Listen to Libby describe his conversation with Russert
