The Federal Bureau of Investigation is conducting several joint reviews of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, according to new testimony from FBI assistant director Kevin Perkins. Mr. Perkins told a Senate panel that the investigations are being done in conjunction with the Special Inspector General for TARP, Neil Barofsky. Mr. Perkins provided no details on what the investigations entail. The FBI in Washington declined to elaborate on the matter. Mr. Perkins, late this week, said mortgage fraud continues to "pose a significant threat" to the mortgage industry as well as to investors.
