Apparently, Novak cooperated
From the WaPo:
Of course he did. Put yourself in his shoes. You've had a long career, and now you've obviously lost a step. Some leftist whippersnapper is handing you your ass every time you show up on a panel show. So now you've got a choice. You can take a principled stand and go to jail, refusing to burn a source. You can face further prosecution because you exposed a CIA agent.
...Or you can look back at your long career and finally decide to retire, bow out in shame and send your collection of red vests to the Smithsonian. Your call.
A critical early success for Fitzgerald was winning the cooperation of Robert D. Novak, the Chicago Sun-Times columnist who named Plame in a July 2003 story and attributed key information to "two senior administration officials." Legal sources said Novak avoided a fight and quietly helped the special counsel's inquiry, although neither the columnist nor his attorney have said so publicly.
