Another Obama nominee facing legal questions

WASHINGTON – Lawmakers on Tuesday delayed a vote to confirm the Obama administration’s nominee for a key housing post to review lawsuits alleging his real estate company broke federal anti-kickback laws.

The Senate Banking Committee had been scheduled to vote to confirm David Stevens, president and chief operating officer of Long & Foster, as an assistant secretary for the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Stevens, who was nominated in March, had a confirmation hearing last week. But lawmakers decided to hold off on a final vote after being told this week of new information concerning a legal case involving Long & Foster, a Virginia real estate brokerage, banking committee spokeswoman Justine Sessions said.
