Sen. Clinton declines comment on report of sentence commutation probe

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton had no comment
Sunday about a published report saying that federal investigators
have subpoenaed records from the Rockland County Democratic Party
in connection with the sentence commutations for four Hasidic
Jews.

As part of its probe into former President Clinton's last-minute
pardons, the U.S. attorney's office is looking into whether the
New York Democrat played a role in Clinton's decisions to commute
the sentences of four men from New Square, New York. The men were
convicted in 1999 of misusing a federal anti-poverty program and
bilking the government of $40 million.

The Hasidic Jewish community of New Square supported Mrs. Clinton
in the November election and voted 1,400 to 12 in her favor over
her Republican Rick Lazio.

"Senator Clinton has spoken on several occasions regarding this
issue and has stated there is no connection between the two and
we have nothing to add," said Press Secretary Karen Dunn Sunday.

Mrs. Clinton has previously said she sat in on a December White
House meeting with supporters of clemency for the four Hasidic
men, but said she played no role in her husband's decision.

The Journal News in Westchester County reported Saturday that
federal prosecutors have subpoenaed Rockland County Democratic
Party records, looking for any link to the sentence commutations

Marvin Smilon, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office, had no
comment on the newspaper report.
