Geithner to testify in front of Ed Towns, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee

In a hearing scheduled for Jan 27, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has been called upon to appear before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. He is expected to questioned about what his role was in attempting to hide the $62 billion funneled through the AIG bailout. Ed Towns issued the formal invite and news has already come, anonymously, that Geithner will accept.
