Geithner Hearing Scheduled for Jan. 21 By Jackie Calmes Update \| 3:41 p.m. President-elect Barack Obama offered strong support for Timothy F. Geithner at brief news conference with Vice President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Senator Lindsey Graham. Mr. Geithner failed to pay more than $34,000 in federal taxes over several years early this decade, and also faces questions about the employment papers of a former household employee, suddenly complicating what had seemed to be an easy confirmation process in the Senate. “Look is this an embarrassment for him? Yes. He said so himself,” Mr. Obama said. “But it was an innocent mistake. It is a mistake that is commonly made for people who are working internationally or for international institutions. It has been corrected. He paid the penalties.”
