"New York, N.Y.—“It was permissible, but I wouldn’t advise another fund to do it!” Philip Falcone says of the $113 million loan he took from the fund he manages, Harbinger Capital Partners, to pay his 2008 taxes—a move that has made him the subject of an S.E.C. investigation. “I have always kept the bulk of my money, and I mean the bulk of my money, in the fund,” he tells Vanity Fair. “How can anyone possibly say my interests aren’t aligned with theirs?” Contributing editor Bethany McLean spoke to “Manhattan’s most controversial couple,” Philip and Lisa Maria Falcone, about the gossip and accusations that surround them.

Romania

Romanian President Traian Basescu says U.S. President Barack Obama has advised him to reform his country's troubled justice system.
Mr. Basescu spoke Wednesday in Bucharest, one day after he met with President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden at the White House. A White House statement issued afterwards says discussions covered ongoing political and economic reforms in Romania.
The eastern European country's police and courts have been pursued by allegations of corruption and political interference.

EXCLUSIVE | The Obama White House tried to rush federal reviewers for a decision on a nearly half-billion-dollar loan to the solar-panel manufacturer Solyndra so Vice President Biden could announce the approval at a September 2009 groundbreaking for the company’s factory, newly obtained e-mails show.

That Aug. 31, 2009, message, written by a senior OMB staffer and sent to Terrell P. McSweeny, Biden’s domestic policy adviser, concluded, “We would prefer to have sufficient time to do our due diligence reviews.”
