Freeh to Lead Probe Into House Page Program
Posted by wpcomimportuser1 | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
Roll Call is reporting Louis Freeh will be named to oversee an investigation of the House page program:
FREEH WILL LEAD PAGE PROBE: Sources said Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) will announce today that former FBI Director Louis Freeh will oversee an investigation of the House page program, which has been rocked in recent days by the scandal surrounding resigned Rep. Mark Foley (R-Fla.). Hastert is expected to hold a news conference in Illinois this afternoon.
(UPDATE: Freeh apparently will not be appointed due to Democratic objections.)
