Investigators questioned Apple's Jobs

Apple (AAPL) Chief Executive Steve Jobs was questioned by U.S. investigators about stock options backdating at the company, according to several reports citing unidentified lawyers.

The company behind the popular iPod digital media player has said it is under investigation by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission for its past option-grant practices.

Jobs was questioned by federal investigators in San Francisco last week, according to reports by the San Francisco Chronicle and Bloomberg, citing unidentified legal sources.

Jobs' attorney, Mark Pomerantz, declined to comment on the reports. Apple and the U.S. Attorney's Office in San Francisco were not immediately available.
