COMMENTS: CBS Hat Tip to Associated Press
The Associated Press did some legwork after Judd Gregg, the Republican Senator from New Hampshire, withdrew his name as Democrat Barack Obama's nominee for Commerce Secretary. At the time Gregg accounted for his cold feet by pointing to ideological differences. Now the AP reports that Gregg received $650,000 from a passive investment in his brother's real estate business from projects at the Granite State's former Pease AFB, "the very same base Gregg helped secure $66m in Congressional earmarks to have redeveloped as a business park," CBS' Nancy Cordes noted. "Gregg insists the AP investigation has nothing to do with his sudden change of heart about the Cabinet position."
