“NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Top Solyndra executives are not going to testify before Congress about the federal government’s backing of the failed solar power company.
Solyndra Chief Executive Brian Harrison and Chief Financial Officer Bill Stover will exercise their Fifth Amendment rights at an upcoming hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, the company said in a statement Tuesday.
The company cited the ongoing Department of Justice investigation and the advice of its counsel, saying the executives will be “unable to provide substantive answers” to lawmakers’ questions at Friday’s hearing. However, Solyndra said it followed the rules of the application process and that Department of Energy conducted extensive due diligence on the firm.”
