Some Minnesotans still haven’t put away their grills — and one of them is U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum. She took advantage of her seat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s hearing Monday to grill Lehman Bros. CEO Richard Fuld on his actions in the days leading up to the firm’s collapse Sept. 15 in the United States’ largest bankruptcy (so far).
Monday’s hearing was the first opportunity for Congress to turn its wrath directly on a Wall Street figure after last week’s convulsive debate over a financial sector bailout bill. Today the committee was set to question three top brass from AIG but one, CEO Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, has … bailed out.
Watch a video clip of McCollum putting Fuld on the hot seat after the jump. Here’s a video clip of McCollum’s turn grilling Lehman Bros. CEO Richard Fuld. It hits a glitch about halfway through that throws off the synch so if we find one we’ll replace it with a better version. (If you don’t mind wading through lots of other testimony to get to McCollum, there’s always C-SPAN’s video archive.)
