CHARLESTON, W.Va.?President Bush said Tuesday that he is outraged that Enron workers did not know the extent of the energy firm’s financial problems and disclosed that his mother-in law had invested in the company.
“What I’m outraged about is that employees didn’t know all the facts about Enron. My own mother-in-law bought stock last summer, and it’s not worth anything now,” Bush said.
Bush did not say how much stock his mother-in-law, Jenna Welch, purchased, but said “she did not know all the facts” about Enron’s financial situation. “A lot of the stockholders didn’t know all of the facts. And that’s wrong,” he said.
Bush said again he had no intention of releasing details of Enron contacts with White House aides who developed his energy plan, saying if “somebody has an accusation of wrongdoing, let me know.”
