Bush: Wolfowitz 'ought to stay'

An attorney for embattled World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz said Monday his client would not resign his post.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush reaffirmed his support Monday for troubled World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, amid growing calls for Wolfowitz's resignation.

"My position is that he ought to stay," Bush told reporters during a media appearance with two European leaders. "He ought to be given a fair hearing."

Wolfowitz is a former top member of the Bush administration and was instrumental in the lead-up to the Iraq war.
