-Caveat Lector- <http://www.foxnews.com/politics/031401/clinton_check.sml> Sources: Evidence Suggests President's Brother Received Pardon Payments Wednesday, March 14, 2001 By Rita Cosby E-mail This Story WASHINGTON ‹ The U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan has significant evidence that Roger Clinton "knowingly participated in receiving" payments in 1998 from a client in return for his efforts to obtain a pardon from his brother, former President Bill Clinton, sources close to the investigation told Fox News. FBI investigators recently headed to Texas to interview a mother and son ‹ Alberta and Guy Lincecum ‹ who gave two checks for $100,000 each to an Arkansas company called CLM, sources said. The Lincecums said CLM's owners claimed Roger Clinton could get their family member a pardon if the Lincecums paid that amount of money. CLM owner Dickey Morton denied the checks from the Lincecums were payment for a pardon of Guy's brother, Garland, the New York Daily News reported Wednesday. Garland is serving a seven-year prison sentence for his role in an investment scam. Morton said the Lincecums gave the company $235,000 for "advice on a scheme to use a Christian foundation to sell tax-exempt bonds in Las Vegas," the Daily News reported. The pardon was not approved by the former president, who was in Denmark Wednesday to give a speech to members of a business club. Through his spokesperson, Roger Clinton denied ever receiving any money for pardons and said he had never heard of CLM. But a former federal prosecutor said it's a bad sign for Clinton that the FBI went to Texas so quickly. "I think the fact that agents have gone down does give an indication that there are significant leads, that there is significant evidence that's beyond rumor, that's beyond accusations," said Barbara Olson, a former federal prosecutor. Sources also said a team of federal prosecutors led by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White is being supplemented by 15 FBI investigators. White is reporting her investigation to the head of the criminal division at the Justice Department. Michael Chertoff was nominated on Tuesday by President Bush to take over that post. Chertoff previously served as counsel to the Senate Whitewater Committee and an assistant U.S. attorney for the Manhattan office. Meanwhile, managers of former President Clinton's legal defense fund released their latest semi-annual report Wednesday showing that as of December 2000, $8.7 million has been raised through donations. However, the fund has only $600,000 on hand after paying legal expenses related to the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Whitewater. The Clintons have racked up more than $11 million in legal fees ‹ of which about $4 million is still outstanding. Among those who donated the maximum amount of $10,000 to the fund is Denise Rich, the ex-wife of pardoned fugitive financier Marc Rich. The fund's trustee sees no conflict of interest. "No reason to return it," said Fund trustee Anthony Essaye. "I should clarify there was a contribution from one of [Denise Rich's] daughters, Daniella, at around the same time. But they were both in 1998, and we felt that they would be totally unrelated to anything relating to the pardon."
