McDougal Dies in Fort Worth Prison After Whitewater Conviction
James McDougal died at 57 in a Fort Worth medical unit from cardiac arrest, the Justice Department said. He was convicted in 1996 on 18 felony counts tied to Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan and had cooperated with the Whitewater investigation. Clinton issued a bereavement statement, recalling their Arkansas ties and shared political work dating to the 1960s and 1970s.
