Baucus didn’t disclose relationship to DOJ officials while recommending Hanes

Raw Story:

Baucus has acknowledged that he recommended his girlfriend, Melodee Hanes, to be the U.S. attorney for Montana, but it has not been previously known whether he or his staff told Justice Department officials about the relationship at the time of his recommendation. An official involved in the vetting of U.S. attorneys says that Baucus did not—a disclosure that is almost certainly going to escalate questions about Baucus’ conduct.

Here is some interesting info according to wikipedia:

Baucus has owned a home in Washington, D.C.'s upscale Georgetown district since 1984. As of November 2007, the Missoulian newspaper reported he owned no other property in Montana.
And Baucus met his second wife when she was an aide. After Baucus divorced first wife in 1982, Baucus met wife #2 , who was an aide to a Senator in Arkansas after his divorce. Read on.
