Richardson withdraws as Obama's commerce pick
Sunday, Jan 04, 2009 7:10PM UTC
CHICAGO (Reuters) - New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has withdrawn as President-elect Barack Obama's nominee for commerce secretary, an Obama aide said Sunday.
The aide gave no further details, saying only that a statement was due to be released shortly.
NBC news quoted a statement by Richardson as saying he withdrew due to a pending investigation into a company that has done business with his state.
Richardson said on the NBC news website that he had done nothing wrong but he said the ongoing investigation would have caused a long delay in the confirmation process.
