As reported in the New York Times in late January 2002 Rep. Henry Waxman requested a meeting with White regarding the military contracts and the irregularities with the accounting at E.E.S. stating “you are in a unique position because you are the person in government who has the most intimate knowledge of Enron”. Furthermore the Washington Post reported that at this time White still held interests in Enron, including a claim on 50,000 stock options and an annuity paid by the company, despite having promised to divest himself at his confirmation hearing 8 months. This earned him a rebuke from Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) and John Warner (R-Va.) of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He then went on to get himself accused in the Washington Post of Misuse of Government Property by allegedly using military jets for personal trips for him and his wife. Enron however refused to go away and in July following the breaking of the company’s involvement in the 2000-2001 California electricity crisis White found himself denying everything under oath before the Senate Commerce Committee.
