Herman Independent Counsel puts Clinton under Oath
Bill Clinton was questioned Sep. 8 by Ralph I. Lancaster, Jr., the
independent counsel investigating Labor Secretary
Alexis M. Herman for possible improper conduct while working at the
White House by playing a role in illegal campaign contributions to the
Dem. Nat. Committee and seeking to benefit a company in which she had a
financial interest. Lancaster interviewed Clinton under oath at the
White House for an hour according the Clinton's attorney Beth Nolan. Herman's
attorney, W. Neil Eggleston of Howrey &
Simon -- who is also the "appellate judge" for LIUNA's
failed "internal reform effort" which oversees Clinton's close personal,
financial and political friend, LIUNA boss Arthur A. Coia -- claimed that
Clinton's interrogation wasn't a surprise. [BNA 9/9/99]
