WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Fannie Mae (NYSE:FNM - News) has not asked the U.S. Treasury Department for any help to stabilize the mortgage finance company and none has been offered, the company's chief executive said on Wednesday."The Treasury Department has been constructive. ... They have not offered anything and we have not asked for anything," Fannie Mae CEO Daniel Mudd said in a National Public Radio interview in Washington.
Wall Street fears have risen in recent days that the federal government will have to rescue Fannie Mae and its sibling, Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE - News), in a step that would damage investors.
