US senator to examine Bear Stearns deal

The Senate Finance Committee's top Republican said late last week that he has directed his staff to probe the actions of Bear Stearns executives.

Sen. Charles Grassley, who represents Iowa, said he is concerned that insiders and senior executives may benefit from the fire sale of the company to JP Morgan Chase over the weekend leading up to March 17.
