Illinois Senator Kirk Wants Strauss-Kahn to Resign From IMF

U.S. Senator Mark Kirk wants the U.S. executive director of the International Monetary Fund, Meg Lundsager, to seek the resignation of IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the lawmaker’s spokeswoman said.

Kirk, an Illinois Republican who serves on a Senate appropriations subcommittee that has partial oversight of the IMF, is also seeking hearings on how the international fund has managed the European debt crisis, his spokeswoman, Kate Dickens, said today in an e-mail.
