Ex-senator Pryor pleas for McDougal release
David Pryor former Arkansas governor and ally of President Clinton urged District Judge Susan Webber Wright to released McDougal from prison after a December 23 meeting. Wright had jailed McDougal for contempt on September 6, 1996 for refusing to testify before the grand jury investigating Clinton. McDougal could be held up to 18 months or until the grand jury disbands, whichever comes first, with the 18 month period expiring March 6.
