...First Lady and the White House spent much of last week trying to neutralize skepticism about a number of her past statements, including some made under oath. Whether the questions involve Whitewater, the search of Vince Foster's office after his suicide or the 1993 firing of the White House travel-office staff, the issue boils down to whether she's none too fussy about the truth. In a TIME/CNN poll conducted last week by Yankelovich Partners, 52% of those surveyed think Mrs. Clinton lied about her role in Whitewater and Travelgate. Asked if they thought she had done something...
...Clinton's Whitewater billing records, she said she delivered them immediately to David Kendall, the First Lady's lawyer. Republicans weren't buying. Long suspicious that the Clinton's knew the whereabouts of the records, and that they may have arranged for their removal from the late Vincent Foster's office the night he committed suicide, Senator Alfonse D'Amato announced he might solicit written explanations from the Clintons. Sen. Lauch Faircloth charged they "likely have a very serious case of obstruction of justice." Slow down, said Democratic counsel Richard Ben-Veniste, reminding his colleagues that obstruction of justice...
...pages of billing records from Mrs. Clinton's Rose Law Firm that had been eagerly sought for more than two years by congressional investigators as well as by the Whitewater investigators. Carolyn Huber, who was the custodian of the Clintons' personal files taken from White House lawyer Vincent Foster's office after his 1993 suicide, discovered the copied billings while sorting through correspondence in her East Wing office...
...Clinton has long maintained that her billings on behalf of the bank were "minimal." The newly discovered billings, which contain handwritten notations by both Mrs. Clinton and Foster, show that Mrs. Clinton performed about 50 hours of work for Madison over a 15-month period. The papers also make clear that she made some 68 phone calls concerning Madison and engaged in two official contacts with Arkansas state officials on the bank's behalf. Mrs. Clinton's personal lawyer, David Kendall, asserts that the papers merely confirm that his client did not perform significant work for Madison...
Republicans ordered new hearings following the release of a two-year-old Administration memo that identifies Hillary Rodham Clinton as the major player behind the controversial mass firings of White House travel-office employees in 1993. The late deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster was mentioned several times in the memo, leading the Whitewater independent counsel to express dismay that it was not released sooner. Late last week, lawyers for the First Lady also released newly "discovered" billing records of her legal work for the S&L at the heart of the Whitewater probe. Investigators have long sought the documents...
