SEC Subpoenas Frist's Records
TChris wrote yesterday about developments in Senator Bill Frist's stock deal. Today, the Washington Post reports the SEC has subpoenaed his records.
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) has been subpoenaed to turn over personal records and documents as federal authorities step up a probe of his July sales of HCA Inc. stock, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
The Securities and Exchange Commission issued the subpoena within the past two weeks, after initial reports that Frist, the Senate's top Republican official, was under scrutiny by the agency and the Justice Department for possible violations of insider trading laws.
