Pepper Hamilton chairman Louis Freeh, a former judge and director of the FBI, was hospitalized in New Hampshire with serious injuries following a one-car accident. Freeh, 64, was traveling in his 2010 GMC Yukon when he drove off a Vermont roadway, striking a mailbox and a row of shrubs before coming to rest on the side of a tree, police said. Freeh was wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash, which occurred shortly after noon on Aug. 25.
GEITHNER FIGHTS SUBPOENA
Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is fighting a request by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC to turn over unpublished notes from his new memoir. The request came in the U.S. government’s $5 billion suit alleging that S&P inflated ratings for high-risk investments leading to the 2008 financial crash. Geithner’s attorney, John Kiernan, objected that the material sought contains “the private thoughts of a former cabinet-level official regarding his time in office on subjects wholly unrelated to any issues in dispute.”
