Whitewater charges cut by federal judge
A federal judge dismissed four of eight Whitewater related charges against Susan McDougal and four of 11 charges against Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker after finding prosecutors offered insufficient evidence. Judge George Howard Jr. left 15 fraud and conspiracy counts against James McDougal related to Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan. The trio were indicted last August on 21 counts alleging a scheme to obtain 3 million in SBA loans via an investment firm owned by David Hale. McDougal’s lawyer said President Clinton’s videotaped testimony could be shown Wednesday as defense testimony begins.
