The U.S. attorney in Louisville said he has never been asked by the Justice Department to resign and had no idea until yesterday he was on a list of prosecutors suggested for termination.

The Washington Post reported that David Huber, the top federal prosecutor for the Western District of Kentucky, was one of 26 U.S. attorneys suggested for firing between February 2005 and December 2006.


The newspaper said Huber's name was on a list that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales' chief of staff sent to the White House in March 2005.

Huber's name disappeared from subsequent lists.

Huber did not return phone calls, but in a statement, he said, "I have never had at any time a conversation of any sort, including e-mail, about my job performance or being on any type of list."
