Goldman Braces for Federal Subpoenas

Officials at the New York company believe the Justice Department will demand certain documents and other information, possibly within days, these people said. Spokesmen for Goldman and the Justice Department declined to comment Thursday.

Goldman also gave tens of millions of documents to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
