LINDA STOUFFER, CNN ANCHOR: Timothy McVeigh could see his execution postponed once again. That's if his attorneys can convince a judge that the government covered up evidence in the Oklahoma City bombing case. But federal prosecutors plan to fight yesterday's motion, pushing the court to carry out the June 11 death sentence. CNN's Gina London has all the latest on this new twist to the case.</s>ROBERT NIGH, MCVEIGH ATTORNEY: He is convinced that the Department of Justice and the FBI will not otherwise be held to account unless he takes this action.</s>GINA LONDON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Thursday's decision from convicted Oklahoma City bomber Tim McVeigh, after talking with his lawyers, at the penitentiary in Indiana: to go ahead and ask for a stay of his June 11 execution. The request comes with a strong charge the federal government committed fraud when it failed to turn over all the trial documents, and it's still holding back.</s>RICHARD BURR, MCVEIGH ATTORNEY: It is quite clear to us that people have been investigated carefully by the FBI, and they have never produced one piece of paper concerning those people.</s>LONDON: The other half of McVeigh's team then carried out their client's wishes in federal court in Denver, filing a 340-page motion asking for an unspecified amount of additional time to review the new documents.</s>NATHAN CHAMBERS, MCVEIGH ATTORNEY: We requested the stay to allow us sufficient time to investigate, file and litigate...</s>LONDON (on camera): But the government maintains it has provided everything to the defense, and nothing, it claims, in the newly released documents would have changed McVeigh's sentence. (voice-over): But that will be up to Federal Judge Richard Matsch to decide. The judge, who presided over McVeigh's trial, has received the motion and is planning to hold a hearing on a petition Wednesday morning. Gina London, CNN, Denver.
