US attorney general removes himself in Enron case WASHINGTON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Officials of the U.S. Justice Department, which is investigating Enron Corp. (NYSE:ENE - news), said on Thursday that Attorney General John Ashcroft has removed himself from involvement in the case because of campaign contributions from the fallen energy giant. ``The attorney general has not been involved in any aspect of initiating or conducting any investigation involving Enron,'' the department said in a three-sentence statement. Before President George W. Bush named Ashcroft as attorney general, he had been a Republican senator from Missouri and an unsuccessful presidential candidate. The Justice Department, which confirmed the investigation of Enron on Wednesday, said ``any and all responsibilities'' that would be handled by Ashcroft in the case would be done instead by Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson. biz.yahoo.com
