"We're receiving private contributions from individuals," Craig told CNSNews.com, "who wish to support our representation, and that's all there is to it. No organizations are formally involved. It's mostly individual contributions. " Meanwhile, in a statement released from its Washington headquarters, the General Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church said Craig's legal services are being paid through contributions to a humanitarian fund that was established by the organization. "They are assisting in the gathering and solicitations of contributions, that's right," Craig told CNSNews.com. Officials of the General Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church did not return phone calls to CNSNews.com seeking comment. Craig denied that the Cuban government is paying for or has any connection in paying for his legal services. In February, Craig traveled to Cuba with some US religious leaders for a meeting with Cuban officials and Elian's father. During that trip, Craig agreed to help Elian's father in regaining custody of the 6-year-old boy now staying with relatives in Miami. Craig has a history of handling high profile cases. He was special counsel last year during President Clinton's Senate impeachment trial after Clinton became the first elected President to ever be impeached by the House. The Senate later acquitted Clinton. Craig also defended John Hinckley after his failed attempt to assassinate President Reagan in 1981. Craig also offered Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) counsel during the 1991 rape trial of Kennedy's nephew, William Kennedy Smith, in Palm Beach, Florida. ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
