First Lady May Face Congress Over Whitewater Affairs
The possibility Hillary Rodham Clinton may be summoned to testify about Whitewater and the travel office matters grew after newly produced billing records. Sen. D’Amato said the documents show inconsistencies with her sworn statements and suggested she did not tell the truth about her involvement with Castle Grande. He stopped short of calling for her to appear but noted growing frustration with White House cooperation. The billing logs show 68 Madison Bank meetings and 14 calls with Seth Ward, linked to Castle Grande, a transaction regulators call a sham.
