Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner today defended the Obama administration's handling of the $81 billion auto bailout in the wake of a critical report from an independent panel.

The Congressional Oversight Panel said in a 143-page report that taxpayers are "highly unlikely" to see all of their $65 billion investment in General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC repaid.

The panel, chaired by Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren, called on the Treasury to place its 60.8 percent equity stake in GM and its nearly 10 percent stake in Chrysler into an independent trust to speed the government's exit and ensure it is free of political meddling.
