Michael Horowitz, the nominee for the Justice Department’s Inspector General post, has disclosed as part of his confirmation process that his household net worth is $9.3 million.
The current Cadwalater, Wickersham & Taft partner told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he made $4.6 million in 2010 and the first few months of 2011, according to the Blog of Legal Times.
He listed Pfizer Inc., Cablevision Systems Corp., and Magyar Telekom PLC, a Hungarian telecommunications company, as clients that paid “compensation in excess of $5,000.” In the disclosure, Horowitz also referred to 11 other clients “where the representation involved a grand jury or other non-public investigation and the client name was not made public.”
Horowitz also said that he has $5.2 million invested in securities that mainly consist of mutual funds.
His liabilities amount to $401,000 from mortgages and a car loan.
The Senate Judiciary Committee held a confirmation hearing for Horowitz on October 19, where the nominee said that his relationship with Department of Justice criminal division chief Lanny Breuer would not hinder the DOJ OIG investigation of Operation Fast and Furious, a botched gun-walking operation carried out by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
