Frist Braces for Dual Probes

"Less than a month before heading to Iowa to test the presidential waters, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-TN) found himself fighting off two federal investigations into his personal finances," Roll Call reports.

The irony: "Some insiders in the Frist camp speculated that the sale of the HCA stock was really a move to quell the conflict-of-interest issue long before the 2008 campaign heated up -- and were left shaking their heads at the notion that this sell-off had instead sparked more cries of controversy and two federal investigations."

Meanwhile, Think Progress has created a Frist Stock timeline that "catalogues the key events in this emerging scandal." In addition to the two investigations noted above, the timeline shows Frist potentially faces problems relating to lyingto the public and violating Senate ethics rules.
