Bill Richardson Out as Commerce Secretary

Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico has withdrawn his name as nominee for Secretary of Commerce, says NBC News.

NBC says Richardson cited "a pending investigation into a company that has done business with his state" as the reason. The network also says that president-elect Barack Obama accepted the withdrawal with "deep regret."
