The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform apparently intends to hold hearings soon that would feature Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis and some top government officials, who have not yet been named. The potential for drama is high.

Recall that Lewis testified to New York AG Andrew Cuomo that he was pressured by Henry Paulson and Ben Bernanke into going forward with the Merrill Lynch deal after he asked to back out and to keep silent about the huge losses being posted by Merrill Lynch ahead of a shareholder vote.

Bernanke recently testified that "he did not pressure Lewis to withhold information from shareholders about Merrill's problems," reports the AP. The Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has been investigating and apparently thinks there are some big issues that need to be resolved.
