Bush defended his vice president's business record on Wednesday, saying he was confident the Securities and Exchange Commission's investigation of Halliburton Co. would show Dick Cheney did nothing wrong while serving as chief executive.

Bush said the SEC's investigation of Halliburton would "run its course," adding at a press conference with the Polish president: "I've got great confidence in the vice president. ... When I picked him, I knew he was a fine business leader and a fine experienced man." The White House has promised to pursue "wherever it leads" an investigation of Halliburton, which provides products and services to the energy industry.
