It seems Bill Frist’s sudden selling of stock in his families medical company
has drawn attention from the United States Attorney’s office in New York. From
the
Associated Press:
HCA subpoenaed, may involve Senate
leaderHCA Inc.,HCA.N operator of the largest chain of U.S. hospitals, said it
received a subpoena from the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New
York requiring it to produce documents.HCA said it believes the subpoena relates to the sale of HCA stock by
Senator William H. Frist, the Republican Majority Leader. The company said
it intends to cooperate fully.
Bill Frist may end up meeting the same fate as Martha Stewart. This would
surely hurt his chances at a run for the White House in 2008.
