Senate Panel Delays Whitewater Subpoenas
The Senate Whitewater Committee announced Friday that it will delay enforcing subpoenas for documents from Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, James B. McDougal and Susan McDougal until after their trials.
Sen. Alfonse M. D’Amato (R-N.Y.) said the delay was requested by independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr and Judge George Howard Jr.
The McDougals were partners with President Clinton in the failed Whitewater real estate project.
Starr is investigating whether money from the former Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan was improperly diverted to the Whitewater project and to Clinton’s 1986 gubernatorial campaign.
The loan fraud charges against the McDougals and Tucker are not directly related to Whitewater.
