A group of freshman House Republicans, at a news conference, said anything short of full dis closure would not satisfy the voters If we re not up front alxrut this it looks like a whitewash," said Rep Scott King, R-Wis.

I have decided that we're going to make it clear that . in the future I am going to hold mem bets of the bank staff accountable,” he told re porters.
