She asserted the investigation is run by DOJ career prosecutors with her ultimate responsibility, while Senator Dole urged a court-appointed independent prosecutor. The clash followed White House aides complaining of partisan attacks amid the Whitewater probe.

Justice official kin tied to Clinton related S L
The father in law of Justice Department official Webb Hubbel used a no risk loan to buy land for Madison Guaranty S&L, aiding its 1985 real estate deal. Madison owner James McDougal, a Clinton ally, instructed Ward to drive a prestigious car during the project. Madison failed in 1989, costing taxpayers 47 million dollars, while a federal probe examines funds diverted to aid personal and political debts of Arkansans including then Governor Clinton.
