Libby was the first White House official to be indicted while in office in 130 years (the last was Orville E. Babcock, who served as the private secretary for President Ulysses S. Grant and was charged in a conspiracy to pocket whiskey taxes, then pardoned by Grant.)
But was Libby the first White House official to be convicted of a felony? If not, who was?

The White House--Watergate Trial imprisoned several White House officials, ie: G. Gordon Litty, for one, served felony prison time and was disbarred.

Clinton - Perjury. Same crime. No time served.
Libby - Perjury. Will serve up to 25 years.
