A federal judge Tuesday sentenced Ernest G. Green to 90 days of home detention and two years probation on a tax charge in the investigation of fund-raising practices in Bill Clinton's 1996 presidential campaign.
Green pleaded guilty Dec. 21 before U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton to failing to declare and pay taxes on $30,000 from Charlie Trie, a central figure in the fund-raising investigation of the 1996 campaign. Green also will pay a $10,000 fine.
The 27th person charged by the Justice Department's campaign task force, Green had come under scrutiny over allegations he may have been reimbursed for part of a $50,000 contribution to the Democratic Party in 1996.
