Washington, D.C. ? Jurors completed their ninth day of deliberations Monday without a verdict in the perjury trial of ex-White House aide I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, but before finishing they asked three more questions about one charge.

The seven women and four men were told they would get answers when they resume work today.

The note with the jury’s latest questions was not made public.

But a brief courtroom debate between U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton, prosecutors and defense lawyers – with the jury out of the room – indicated the questions related to a charge that Libby lied to the FBI about a telephone conversation he had with Time magazine’s Matt Cooper in 2003 concerning CIA operative Valerie Plame.

There was no way to tell from the court discussion Monday how far along the jury has come in weighing its verdicts on the five felony counts against the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.
