The whole truth, though, is that Nussbaum gave a file marked "Whitewater" to Williams, who then had it stored on the third floor of the White House residence. Five days later, the papers were transferred to the Clintons' personal attorney. They eventually reached special counsel Robert...
...both the House and Senate, Republicans -- and some Democrats -- zeroed in on Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman, claiming he had been less than forthcoming about the department's contacts with the White House over an investigation into the failed S&L at the center of Whitewater.
