-Caveat Lector- Newsweek Ashcroft Eventually Might Have No Choice But to Name Special Counsel In Clinton Pardon Investigation, Source Tells Newsweek. FBI Director Freeh Took Personal Interest in Roger Clinton Case, But Was Rebuffed by Justice Department Officials NEW YORK, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- While Attorney General John Ashcroft isn't yet eager to name a special counsel in the investigation of former President Bill Clinton's pardons, a legal source close to the White House tells Newsweek that eventually he may have no choice. This is now a sprawling legal matter that may require investigation in several states, report Chief Political Correspondent Howard Fineman and Investigative Correspondents Mark Hosenball and Michael Isikoff in the March 5 issue (on newsstands Monday, February 26).

Freeh was rebuffed by Justice Department higher-ups. The FBI is said to remain interested, Newsweek reports. ``Somebody needs to take a look at this.'' Newsweek also reports that Hillary Clinton's brother Hugh Rodham and a third sibling, younger brother Tony Rodham, tried to set up a hazelnut-export business in the former Soviet Republic of Georgia -- until the State Department told them to stop. The brothers traveled to Taiwan and South Korea prospecting for business. During one visit, according to local press reports, they brought a gift and personal letter from Hillary to the Korean First Lady, Lee Hee-ho.
