The documents, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, place Romney in charge of Bain from 1999 to 2001, a period in which the company outsourced jobs and ran companies that fell into bankruptcy. (he denies it)

Romney has tried to distance himself from this period in Bain's history, saying on financial disclosure forms he had no active role in Bain as of February 1999. Obama has labeled Romney a job killer in hopes of undercutting the Republican's claim that his private business experience gives him the ability to turn around the struggling economy.

But at least three times since then, Bain listed Romney as the company's "controlling person," as well as its "sole shareholder, sole director, chief executive officer and president." And one of those documents — as late as February 2001 — lists Romney's "principal occupation" as Bain's managing director.

The Washington Post's Fact Checker, which had previously looked into the question of when Romney left Bain, said in a piece published Thursday morning that it stood behind its earlier finding that Romney was not technically running the company, even if his name was on legal documents. "Just because you are listed as an owner of shares does not mean you have a managerial role," Glenn Kessler, who authors the Post's Fact Checker section, wrote.
