Breaking: SEC chairman recuses himself from
investigating Senate leader
RAW STORY
Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Christopher
Cox is recusing himself from the SEC's investigation
into stock sales made by Senate Majority Leader Bill
Frist, people familiar with the matter told the WALL
STREET JOURNAL Monday. From the wire:
#
Mr. Cox, a former California Congressman, donated $1,000
to Mr. Frist in 2000 from the Christopher Cox
Congressional Committee, according to Federal Election
Commission records. Mr. Cox and Mr. Frist also worked
closely together on Capitol Hill. Mr. Cox wants to
recuse himself to avoid the appearance of a conflict of
interest, these people said.
The SEC and Justice Department are probing Mr. Frist's
sale of shares in HCA Inc. this past summer. The sale
came just prior to an earnings warning, which sent
shares of HCA plummeting. Mr. Frist has denied having an
knowledge about problems at the company that prompted
his sale and has said he instructed his trustee to sell
the shares to avoid a conflict of interest.
