Coming into a treasure-trove of documents that included a cashier's check payable to Bill Clinton, Whitewater prosecutors have pieced together previously unknown transactions at an Arkansas savings and loan, people familiar with the probe say.
Thousands of pages of documents pulled from a tornado-damaged car last March have taken the investigation in "new and interesting directions," said one source...
A featured exhibit at several grand jury sessions was a cashier's check for almost $30,000 to Clinton, several witnesses say.
The discovery of the 1982 Clinton check and other documents missing for a decade has opened a new line of inquiry by prosecutors into whether Clinton testified accurately about his relationship with James and Susan McDougal and their failed Arkansas savings and loan, the witnesses said.
The president swore under oath last year that he "never borrowed any money" from the McDougals' failing Madison Guaranty S&L.
The president's Whitewater lawyer, David Kendall, questioned the authenticity of the documents yesterday, saying they may have the credibility of a "freshly written Elvis autobiography,"...
Deborah Gershman, a spokeswoman for Starr's office, declined to comment.
Kendall said that "if authentic," the check appears likely to have been one issued in the amount of $27,600 to pay off a loan at a bank owned by McDougal - a $30,000 loan he said McDougal took out in August 1981 to provide capital at the Whitewater real-estate venture jointly owned by the Clintons and the McDougals. "Neither the president nor Mrs. Clinton had signed for this loan," Kendall said.
Kendall was unavailable to discuss why, in that case, Madison would have issued a check to Clinton or how that squares with the president's statement that he never borrowed money from McDougal's savings and loan.
