Va. Rep. Davis urges congressional probe into theft

Mayor Adrian Fenty on Thursday sidestepped calls by Congress and others to have outsiders investigate the largest theft of public money in city history, saying he was content to let Chief Financial Officer Natwar Gandhi, whose staff is charged with stealing $20 million, clean up the mess.

Fenty had nothing new to add a day after federal authorities announced the arrest of five people, including employees in the Office of Tax and Revenue, with fraud on a historic scale.
