Treasury
Secretary Tim Geithner and his department have been sued by Judicial
Watch as a result of the government's abject failure to abide by the
law, specifically the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), concerning the
Toxic Assets Relief Program and Obama administration "pay czar" Kenneth
Feinberg.
Last November, Judidial Watch submitted an FOIA request multiple
documents concerning meetings involving Feinberg, special master for
executive compensation under TARP; AIG Chairman Robert Benmosche, and
New York Federal Reserve Bank President William Dudley. As the Obama
administration’s “pay czar,” Feinberg is responsible for setting
compensation guidelines for the seven largest firms, including AIG,
using funds from TARP.
Judicial Watch's request covered meetings among the three officials that took place Nov. 4, 12th and 17th last year.
