In a Washington Examiner interview, Sen. Mike Lee defends Mitt Romney's choice of Mike Leavitt to lead his transition team, saying the former Utah governor is a "statesman of the highest order" and an "outstanding manager."

Lee dismissed worries about the fact that Leavitt was profiting from the implementation of President Obama's health care law.

“If the rule were, you cannot be considered a conservative, or even palatable to any conservatives under any circumstances if you have operated in or especially made a profit in any area that isn’t 100 percent governed by free market, no one would qualify," Lee said. "The truth is there are so many things, especially in the post-Obamacare world, where the market isn’t really free.”
