Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke last month agreed to lend against Bear Stearns securities, paving the way for JPMorgan Chase & ...

In a report issued today, the inspector, Neil Barofsky, said then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke had concerns about the ...
