What’s Coming Next
Upcoming developments in the Whitewater affair include:
* On June 17, Arkansas bankers Herby Branscum Jr. and Robert Hill go on trial in the federal courthouse in Little Rock where Tuesday’s guilty verdicts were delivered. The bankers are accused of 11 felonies regarding the handling of Bill Clinton’s 1990 reelection campaign for governor.
* On June 17, the Senate Whitewater Committee is expected to wrap up a report of its year-long investigation into various aspects of the affair.
* Arkansas Gov. Jim Guy Tucker, who announced he will resign after being convicted Tuesday, still faces three other felony charges in a separate indictment. He is accused with two business associates of lying to obtain a $300,000 federally backed loan and undervaluing profits from a cable television deal to lessen the tax liability.
* Two federal grand juries--one in Little Rock and the other in Washington--are continuing their investigations of the Whitewater affair.
