WASHINGTON, March 16 (UPI) -- The House of Representatives Wednesday subpoenaed the trustee for Bernard Madoff's assets over another official's possible conflict of interest.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Committee, ordered Madoff trustee Irving Picard to turn over all "all documents" on the account David Becker's family had with the convicted swindler's firm, Politico reported. Becker is former general counsel to the Securities Exchange Commission, which failed to catch Madoff's Ponzi scheme for years.
