SNIPPET: “Barack Obamas close friend and major fundraiser, Penny Pritzker, who has been nominated to be the new Secretary of Commerce, didnt include more than $80 million in income in financial disclosures she filed last week. Pritzker, who is a billionaire, supposedly inadvertently omitted this tiny part of her fortune.
Her lawyer, Robert Rizzi, wrote the Commerce Department on May 21 that the money was not included in the May 15 filings that were reviewed by the U.S. Office of Government Ethics because of a clerical error and through no fault of Ms. Pritzker.
