PROBE EYES DENISE'S BANK ACC'T
New York Post-Monday, February 12, 2001
By VINCENT MORRIS
WASHINGTON - Manhattan U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White reportedly
wants a peek at the bank account of socialite Denise Rich to see
if foreign money goosed President Clinton into pardoning her
ex-husband.
While GOP Sen. Arlen Specter used a Sunday chat show to toy with
the idea of impeaching Bill Clinton a second time, the federal
prosecutor is "considering" a criminal probe of the pardon of
fugitive financier Marc Rich, Newsweek magazine is reporting
today.
Newsweek said White is considering issuing a subpoena for Denise
Rich's bank records to determine whether money for donations to
Democrats originated in Switzerland with Marc Rich.
Marvin Smilon, spokesman for White, said yesterday, "We're not
commenting."
Specter, a Senate Judiciary Committee member from Pennsylvania,
said a Clinton impeachment saga Part II would allow critics to
strip the former president of his pension, his library and his
bodyguards.
"President Clinton technically could still be impeached," Specter
told Fox News Sunday.
"I'm not suggesting it," added Specter - who is famous for
tossing around radical ideas for effect.
With Clinton out of office since Jan. 20, complaints about his
11th hour pardons continued yesterday, and a judiciary-committee
review kicks off Wednesday.
And the leader of a separate House probe, Rep. Dan Burton
(R-Ind.), said he's sending a letter to the U.S. Justice
Department today seeking criminal immunity for Denise Rich.
Last week, a lawyer for Denise Rich invoked the Fifth Amendment
in declining to allow the songwriter to testify in the early
stages of the investigation.
"We'll try to get her immunity so she'll testify," Burton told
"Meet the Press," explaining his plan to smoke out whether gifts
and donations to Clinton, his wife and his library were aimed at
winning a pardon. Clinton and Rich say no.
Burton says he'll subpoena Clinton library-foundation records,
since the ex-president's lawyer, David Kendall, last week said
"no way" to turning over the gift list.
He said he'll also subpoena Beth Dozoretz, who handled money for
the Democratic National Committee until last year.
On the same show yesterday, Joseph diGenova -a lawyer for Marc
Rich's lawyer Jack Quinn - said Clinton knew what he was doing.
"The president of the United States was fully aware of this
pardon and its consequences," said diGenova, who also says
Israeli support for Rich helped sway Clinton.
"Mr. Rich has a huge foundation in Israel, giving hundreds of
millions of dollars to charitable causes there. This was a very
important case to the Israeli government, and they weighed in
very heavily directly with the president," diGenova said.
Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California gave
her blessing to forcing Clinton to appear before Congress to
explain his decision.
Clinton "really did make a major mistake" Feinstein said on CNN,
while Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) agreed Clinton was "brain dead"
when he issued his "totally indefensible" Rich pardon.
Biden, on Fox News Sunday, also suggested that Sen. Hillary
Clinton "recuse herself" from Congressional debate about the
pardon.
