Lawyers for I. Lewis Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, offered a detailed outline on Tuesday of Mr. Libby's likely defense to charges that he lied about his role in exposing the identity of a C.I.A. operative. In a pleading filed in United States District Court, Mr. Libby's lawyers asked the judge to order the special counsel to obtain and turn over to them a large number of records, some of them classified, that demonstrate the kinds of issues he was involved in as both the chief of staff and national security adviser to Mr. Cheney. They also asked for more of Mr. Libby's notes during his service with Mr. Cheney than those they already have.
