ELIAN TAKEN TO TOP DEMOCRATIC FUNDRAISER'S HOUSE; 'NO MONEY CHANGED
HANDS'
As Attorney General Janet Reno received an Ellis Island medal
last night, little Elian Gonzalez was taken under police escort
to have dinner at the home of major Democratic party fundraisers.
Elian, and his father, were entertained for more than four hours
Saturday night at the Georgetown home of Smith and Elizabeth
Bagley, who are top Democratic donors. The Gonzalez's reportedly
dined on smoked salmon, shrimp and fruit in the Bagleys' atrium.
The home features grand marble pillars, tile floors, an exercise
room and indoor pool.
For their party patronage, The Bagleys, who have been major
contributors to President Clinton defense fund, have been
rewarded with frequent guest invites at official White House
dinners, including the White House Millennium Dinner last New
Year's Eve and a state dinner for the king of Spain a few months
ago.
Bagley is an heir to North Carolina's Reynolds tobacco fortune.
Gregory Craig, attorney for Elian's father, approved the Gonzalez
visit to the Bagley residence. But a source close to the famed
attorney bristled at the notion that the boy was being used as a
fundraising tool.
"Of course it was not a fundraising event," said a source close
to Craig. "Not one dollar changed hands. It was an opportunity
for Mr. Gonzalez to meet some of the city's most prominent
citizens. It was a party for the little boy... balloons and
cake."
The Bagleys hosted Bill and Hillary Clinton last summer at their
Nantucket home, an event that raised more than $200,000 for the
Democratic Party.
In 1997 the duo hosted the president in their Georgetown spread
and raised more than $250,000 for the DNC.
Just last month, mega-donor Elizabeth Bagley was toasted by Terry
McAuliffe, President Clinton's money maestro, for her involvement
in an upcoming fundraising blowout, an all-star concert party
officials hope will go down as the biggest political fundraiser
ever.
