The Justice Department attorney who successfully prosecuted National Century Financial Enterprises founder Lance K. Poulsen for fraud has been tapped to be the staff director and chief counsel of the new Office of Congressional Ethics.

The House created the office as an independent, nonpartisan entity to review alleged ethics violations and refer charges to the House ethics committee.
