Susan McDougal Moved to U.S. Prison
Susan McDougal, a former business partner of President Clinton, was moved Thursday from an Arkansas jail to a federal prison in Fort Worth.
McDougal has been behind bars since Sept. 9 for refusing to answer a grand jury’s questions about Clinton’s involvement in the Whitewater real estate project. She was convicted in May of fraud in the first jury trial of the Whitewater investigation and sentenced to two years in prison. She has yet to begin serving that sentence.
McDougal and her former husband, James B. McDougal, were partners with president and Mrs. Clinton in Whitewater. A federal judge ordered Susan McDougal jailed when she refused to cooperate with independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr’s investigation.
