The Senate Finance Committee today easily approved Timothy Geithner's nomination to become Treasury secretary, but only after asserting that his failure to pay his taxes years ago could have disqualified him if his leadership at Treasury were not needed to deal with the financial crisis. The committee voted 18-5 to send Geithner's nomination to the full Senate for a vote next week. Republican committee members again voiced concerns that Geithner, who would oversee the IRS as Treasury Secretary, failed to pay all of his taxes between 2000 and 2004 while he worked at the International Monetary Fund and repaid the full $34,000 when he was being considered for the Cabinet post.
