WASHINGTON — A panel probing the causes of the financial meltdown has issued a subpoena for documents from Goldman Sachs, accusing the firm of stonewalling.
The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission said Monday it had sent Goldman numerous requests for information, documents and interviews.
Goldman didn’t respond to some questions, said chairman Phil Angelides. With others, it provided billions of pages of documents, more than the staff can process.
“This has been a very deliberate effort over time to run out the clock,” FCIC co- chairman Bill Thomas told reporters.
“We did not ask them to pull a dump truck to our offices and dump a bunch of rubbish,” Angelides added.
A spokesman for Goldman said the bank has cooperated. The Associated Press
