Senate Majority Leader Frist Broke Senate Rules (Disclosure Forms)

@ 09:02 PM (25 months, 17 days ago)

I'm shocked, I tell you!  Just shocked!

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist broke some of the rules that govern the very body he leads.

It seems he failed to follow all of the Senate's rules on finanical disclosure. He failed to note that he and his wife are the lone trustees in charge of a family foundation which carries his name.

Frist is currently under investigation for sharing shares of a stock he owned, at a time when insiders where selling, and the stock reached a 52-week high.

Frist failed to follow disclosure rules

Disclosure forms lacked listing of senator, wife as trustees
