An Empty Cabinet
January 4, 2009
Bill Richardson withdrew his nomination as Commerce Secretary in President-elect Barack Obama’s cabinet. This was due to a current federal investigation into a state contractor who is also a contributor to Richardson’s political committees. Richardson has denied any wrongdoing and will continue to serve as governor of New Mexico.
