Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher J. Dodd said he would refinance two home mortgages that were being investigated by a Senate ethics panel.
Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat, said he sought no special treatment from Countrywide Financial Corp. when he refinanced his Washington and East Haddam, Conn., homes in 2003. He has acknowledged participating in a VIP program.
