The report concluded that Countrywide executives used a special VIP loan program to try to stop legislation that would have restrained the company’s business with Fannie Mae. Countrywide had an exclusive agreement to sell billions of dollars in mortgages to Fannie Mae at a discounted rate, according to the report issued by committee chairman Darrell Issa, a California Republican.
