Update: Confirmed - ABC News radio has confirmed the report.
The NY Times is the only source reporting the claim that Alberto Gonzales resigned on Friday.
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales, whose tenure has been marred by controversy and accusations of perjury before Congress, has resigned. A senior administration official said he would announce the decision later this morning in Washington.
Mr. Gonzales, who had rebuffed calls for his resignation, submitted his to President Bush by telephone on Friday, the official said. His decision was not immediately announced, the official added, until after the president invited him and his wife to lunch at his ranch near here.

The official said that the decision was Mr. Gonzales’s and that the president accepted it grudgingly. At the same time, the official acknowledged that the turmoil over his tenure as Attorney General had made continuing difficult.
“The unfair treatment that he’s been on the receiving end of has been a distraction for the department,” the official said.
The White House will be making an announcement this morning.
