Burton Statement on Beth Dozoretz's assertion of her Fifth
Amendment Rights
Washington, D.C. - Chairman Dan Burton (R-IN) today issued the
following statement in response to former DNC Chair Beth
Dozoretz's decision to assert her Fifth Amendment rights and not
testify before the House Government Reform Committee in regard to
the Marc Rich pardon investigation:
"The Committee has just been informed that Beth Dozoretz will
exercise her Fifth Amendment rights against self incrimination,
and that she will refuse to testify on March 1, 2001. I am
extremely disappointed. She now joins Denise Rich, who has
already taken the Fifth. It is my hope that when she comes before
the Committee on Thursday, she will change her mind and answer
the Committee's questions. It is very troubling that Beth
Dozoretz and Denise Rich, both close friends of former President
Clinton who discussed the Rich pardon with him, would refuse to
testify.
"Ever since former President Clinton issued a number of
questionable pardons on January 20, 2001, he has said that the
American people will understand that, when the facts come out,
what he did was right. Unfortunately, the facts are not coming
out. It is beginning to seem that the reason people aren't
answering questions is because they are hiding something. This is
unacceptable.
"In addition to Ms. Dozoretz's and Ms. Rich's refusal to testify,
the Committee is potentially facing other stonewalling tactics
from the Clinton Library, former President Clinton and Marc Rich.
"The Committee has subpoenaed the William J. Clinton Presidential
Foundation to turn over its donor lists, and pledge lists and the
Foundation has refused to comply. Former President Clinton and
his lawyers are keeping this relevant information from the
Committee without any sound legal basis. Former President Clinton
should make these donor lists available to the Committee so that
there will be no doubt that donations to the Library had nothing
to do with the pardons.
"Last week I asked both former President Clinton and Marc Rich to
waive all privileges. Mr. Rich is hiding behind the attorney
client privilege, and has kept a significant number of documents
from the Committee. I call on him, once again, to let the
American people understand what he was doing in the months
leading up to his pardon.
"This Thursday, three former top aides to former President
Clinton will testify. I hope that they will act differently than
Mr. Rich. The former President has a chance to level with the
people, and I hope he waives his privileges and lets John
Podesta, Bruce Lindsey and Beth Nolan answer all the committee's
questions. The American people have a right to know all the
facts."
