AG Recusal in Madoff Probe

From the Associated Press via Yahoo! News: "AG recuses himself from Madoff fraud probe," by Pete Yost--
Congress will investigate the alleged $50 billion Ponzi scheme run by Wall Street money manager Bernard L. Madoff, a leading House lawmaker said Wednesday. Separately, the U.S. attorney general took himself out of any involvement because his son is representing an officer at Madoff's investment firm.

The Madoff scandal has further weakened already-battered investor confidence in securities markets and has raised more troubling questions about the effectiveness of the regulatory system," said Democratic Rep. Paul Kanjorski, chairman of the House Financial Services subcommittee on capital markets.
