Dodd plays defense: Details of suspect mortgage still secret

http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2008/10/22/dodd-plays-defense-details-of-suspect-mortgage-still-secret-new-haven-register/ Wednesday, October 22, 2008 5:49 AM EDTBy Mary E. OLeary, Register Topics EditorNEW HAVEN — U.S. Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., Tuesday continued to hold up release of documents connected to mortgages he obtained from Countrywide Financial Corp., saying he is waiting for the Senate Ethics Committee to issue its report on the matter.Based on e-mails it obtained, Portfolio magazine in mid-June said Countrywide waived fees and provided discounted mortgages for customers, including Dodd, who were on a VIP list.Speaking to reporters after addressing students at Southern Connecticut State University on the financial crisis, Dodd repeated what he has said for months.The allegations which are at the heart of this are simply untrue. ... These transactions were market-rate transactions, Dodd said, denying he benefited financially because of his position in the Senate.Dodd said he has cooperated fully with the ethics inquiry, which has been ongoing for months. The findings have not been released.When they do, Im going to provide documents to people, but to do it prematurely, before the Ethics Committee completes its inquiry ... to me, sort of jumps ahead in this. I just dont think it is appropriate or right, Dodd said. Im not hiding anything.The five-term senator has been a member of the Banking Committee for most of his 28 years in the Senate, and was elevated to chairman less than two years ago after the 2006 elections.In 2003, Dodd and his wife, Jackie Clegg Dodd, refinanced their Washington, D.C., home with a five-year, adjustable rate mortgage at 4.5 percent on $506,000, and their East Haddam home with a 10-year adjustable mortgage at the same rate on $275,042.I know exactly what we did with these market transactions back five years ago. ... Im very comfortable with it, comfortable with what I think the conclusion will be, Dodd said of the inquiry.The original loan on their Connecticut home in 1981, as well as the one for the 1999 purchase of the Capitol Hill home, were with Countrywide, which collapsed this year after the implosion of the subprime mortgage market and is now the subject of predatory lending lawsuits.The senator said he realizes there is interest in his mortgages, but he thinks the public has more pressing concerns.The general public is worried about their student loans. They are worried about (losing) their homes. They are worried about the economy. ... Obviously, they would be concerned if I somehow got a special deal, but I have said from the very beginning, we never did, Dodd said.Dodd has been at the center of the U.S. government effort to restore confidence in the financial system with a $700 billion rescue plan, and has recently again been the subject of critical editorials and political ads about his mortgages.Given his position on the Banking Committee, he has been the recipient of generous campaign donations from the mortgage industry.The request for an ethics inquiry came from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which has said it feels the Dodds treatment by Countrywide constituted a gift, which would be in violation of Senate rules.SCSU political science professor Art Paulson was sympathetic to Dodds position.He said it is probably better that the senator let the ethics inquiry play out and release the material in some kind of coherent way, although Dodds position may seem less than forthcoming to the public.Paulson said if Dodd were up for re-election this year, that would put a different light on the matter and require a different response.Paulson said he assumes Dodd is being completely honest with the committee.Dodd spoke to Cheshire High School students earlier Tuesday, and today is scheduled to speak in Hartford about passage of the mental health parity bill.Mary E.
