Mitt Romney adviser: Tim Geithner’s lying

Politico reports:
The top economic adviser to Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign on Sunday accused Tim Geithner of “lying” in a forthcoming memoir about a private discussion on tax increases they had during the 2012 race.

R. Glenn Hubbard, the dean of Columbia Business School and the former head of George W. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers, said Geithner fabricated a claim in the book that Hubbard endorsed raising taxes in a conversation the two men had in early 2012 at an Economic Club of New York dinner.



No word yet on whether Tim Geithner will blame everything on TurboTax and/or the Koch brothers.
