Cheney and Halliburton
Quote/Claim:
"And since I left Halliburton to become George Bush’s vice president, I’ve severed all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interests. I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven’t had now for over three years." [Source: Meet the Press transcript]
