LITTLE ROCK: A federal court clerk Tuesday signed U.S. District Judge George Howard Jr.'s subpoena ordering President Clinton to testify in next month's trial of James and Susan McDougal and prepared to send it to the White House. Lawyers for the President say they will advise Clinton to give his testimony on videotape or via a satellite conference call. The McDougal lawyers, meanwhile, are still trying to have Clinton appear in person. The critical question prosecutor Kenneth Starr would explore with the President: whether he pressured former municipal judge David Hale to approve a $300,000 loan...
LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS: A federal district judge has ordered President Clinton subpoenaed to testify in the Whitewater trial of his former business partners James and Susan McDougal that starts March 4 in Little Rock.

Republicans have done little to disprove Mrs. Clinton's claim that she did nothing illegal on behalf of Madison Guaranty, the now defunct savings and loan association that was headed by Jim McDougal, the Clintons' partner in their Whitewater land investment. Similarly, there's no evidence that the thrift got favorable treatment from a Clinton-appointed state bank regulator, Beverly Bassett Schaffer...
...back up the First Lady's recollection that it was he who brought together Madison and Rose. He remembered only having made an unsuccessful pitch to Madison's president, John Latham, and told the committee he didn't recall how the work eventually ended up with Rose. McDougal has claimed it happened via Bill Clinton, who stopped by his office on a jogging run and asked him to pass business along to his wife. It's a story both Clintons deny...
