...started in 1985 after Massey asked her to consider bringing on the S & L as a client. "I don't believe it happened that way," Massey told Senators Thursday. He did admit to pitching Madison President John Latham on Rose's services, but said Latham told him only James McDougal, the S & L's owner, could retain Rose. To many questions posed by the Whitewater committee, Massey either could not remember the details, or had little to say. "It was mostly a fizzle for Al D'Amato and the Senate Whitewater investigators," notes TIME's Viveca Novak. "Massey didn...
Embattled Whitewater principals Jim Guy Tucker and James McDougal received a bit of coal in their stockings from Senator Alfonse D'Amato. The two are part of a crowd of sixteen who received subpoenas from the Whitewater committee chairman for documents concerning Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan. Arkansas Governor Tucker, along with James and Susan McDougal, are already under federal indictment for their roles in the failure of the savings and loan at the heart of the Whitewater controversy. "The committee is now moving into the Arkansas phase of its investigation," D'Amato wrote in issuing the subpoenas. "We will...
...White House last week, he has other allegations that may, if Starr chooses to give them credence, still trouble the Clintons. Shortly after being indicted on other loan-fraud charges in September 1993, Hale claimed that on two occasions Bill Clinton personally pressured him to give Susan McDougal a $300,000 SBA loan. Later, about $25,000 of that SBA-backed money was used to buy a property that briefly passed through Whitewater Development Corp. in late 1986. If Hale's charges are true, Clinton could conceivably be implicated in a conspiracy to defraud. If not, the Arkansas...
Starr has a remarkable record of persuading his indictees to turn state's evidence. Nine of the 14 charged so far have pleaded guilty in return for cooperation with the prosecution. Jim McDougal has always taken a feisty stand, but his health is poor and he might theoretically find cooperating an appealing alternative to a stretch behind bars. (Almost all counts of the latest indictment are punishable by up to five years in prison.) TIME has learned from attorney Bobby McDaniel that his client Susan McDougal has refused an offer from Starr to plead guilty to a misdemeanor in return...
...Clinton associates in the Whitewater deal were indicted by a federal grand jury in Little Rock. James McDougal and his former wife Susan were named in a 21-count indictment that included charges of fraud, conspiracy and making false statements to obtain federally backed loans. And there were 11 new charges against Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker, who did legal work for the failed savings and loan owned by the McDougals. (Tucker was indicted in June on separate charges.) President Clinton and his wife were not charged-as an accompanying press release from independent counsel Kenneth Starr pointed...
