(11:50:44) Senator MURRAY. How did you feel when they began to ask her questions? This is a woman who obviously had just learned of her husband's suicide. How did that make you feel? Mr. HUBBELL. I guess, I guess you understand it, but it is very invasive at that time. I think you don't resent it, but you just, it sure seems like a hard thing to do, especially in this case it wasthey were saying it was a suicide. I would have hoped they could, if they needed to ask her questions, they could do it at a different time. But they did, and nobody got angry with them or anything like that, but it was just-you'd like to share your grief only with the people you are close to at that time, Senator MURRAY. I would assume that there's a feeling of protecting somebody from having to live through questioning at that time. They've already received enough Mr. HUBBELL. Yes, there is, and you are also--we were, I think, naturally concerned about Lisa's state of mind and her health in such a traumatic time. We were trying to get a doctor to come and help her. Senator MURRAY. Are you aware of allegations that you pushed Cheryl Braun out of the way in the Foster home? Mr. HUBBELL. I found out about them when I watched the hearings last year. That was the first time I'd ever heard that. Senator MURRAY. Mr. Chairman, for the record, at this point 1 would like to submit a question I asked Cheryl Braun last year during these hearings, and her answer. It specifically is: Question: So, from your perspective, do you feel that anyone was trying to obstruct you in trying to get information that night? Answer: No, I would not say they were. I would like that on the record at this time and I would yield the rest of my time to counsel. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Thank you, Senator Murray. Mr. Hubbell, I'd like to turn back to some questions that Senator Hatch addressed to you with respect to issues of whether White House Counsel may, under certain circumstances, act either as per- sonal attorney or have in its possession the personal, financial or I other records of the President of the United States. In this regard, let me ask you if you can tell us who Roger Adams was in July 1993? Mr. HUBBELL. Roger Adams, I believe, was a Deputy in the Criminal Division at the Justice Department and I think, by that time, had been detailed to be on the staff of Phil Heymann, the Deputy Attorney General. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Did you know that Mr. Adams was one of the two Justice Department high-ranking individuals who were present during the search of Mr. Foster's office on July 22, 1993? Mr. HUBBELL. I think I learned that when I returned to Washington from Little Rock. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Did you know, sir, that Mr. Adams' responsibility at the Justice Department, among others, was to give ethics advice to lawyers in the Criminal Division at the Department of ,Justice? Mr. HUBBELL. I was not aware of that. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. That is contained in his deposition at page 14, Mr. Chairman. 116 Now, let me read, if I might, from Mr. Adams' deposition and see. whether you agree with this position. At page 194 Mr. Adams says: I might say that it doesnt surprise me a bit. There's a thin line between public business and private business. It does not offend me at all that the Counsel or Dep- uty Counsel to the President does work on some personal things of the President and First Lady. And then during the search, obviously, Bernie Nussbaum said that these are certain things that Vince Foster has been working on for the Presidentand the First Lady.
July 19, 1995 - Part 2
(12:10:29) Bernie Nussbaum was in the position of protecting a client, the President, and protecting a friend, Vince Foster. Is it fair to say that he did those things very conscientiously, but perhaps in terms of public relations or handling a public office, he may not have been as adroit as he might have been? Mr. HUBBELL. I want to say, first, that I have the greatest respect for Bernie's legal abilities and his loyalty. He became, in 6 months, one of Vince's closest friends. As I said, Bernie and Vince both referred to each other as brothers. We love Bernie; he loved Bernie, and Bernie loved Vince. So I hope as we think about Bernie's actions we don't forget that part of Bernie. He is a very lovable man himself. I think Bernie himself will say that he's not the best PR for himself. He's a protecting lawyer as he has been trained to do for many years. Bernie is an open person. I mean, Bernie tends to go in one direction, but a lot of times I have seen Vince or myself sit down and say now, Bernie, let's talk about this, and Bernie is open to suggestions. But I don't think, I hate to hear the word that Bernie is becoming a heavy because I think Bernie always did what he thought was the best thing to do. I know I have made mistakes, and I can't judge. It's this Committee's job to say whether Bernie made a mistake or not. But I'd never doubt his heart. Senator SIMON. As far as doing anything-and some mistakes were made-we didn't anticipate we were going to be here Mr. HUBBELL. No. Senator SIMON. -in this hearing. As far as doing anything ethically or legally improper, you're not aware of Bernie Nussbaum doing anything like that? Mr. HUBBELL. No, and I think Phil would have told me, Phil Heymann would have told me if he felt that way. Senator SIMON. Then you-in your deposition on July 13th, you are asked: Question: Now, I think as a point of reference, the question was really limited ill time from the time of the election up to and including Mr. Foster's death. Let me ask you if before that time the President or Mrs. Clinton, then Mr- and Mrs. Clinton, expressed to you any concerns about Whitewater Development Corporation, Madison Guaranty or the McDougals? Then you, as a partial answer here, say: Answer: I was aware that Mrs. Clinton wanted to get the records assembled, fig- ure out what had happened with Whitewater and get it resolved, 121 Did Mrs. Clinton at any point ask you to do anything improper in connection with Whitewater? Mr. HUBBELL. Oh, absolutely not. She never would do anything like that. Senator SIMON. Did Mrs. Clinton at any point ask you to do anything improper on anything else? Mr. HUBBELL. No, she did not. Senator SIMON. Did President Clinton ask you at any point to do anything improper on Whitewater? Mr. HUBBELL. No, Senator. Senator SIMON. Did President Clinton ask you to do anything im- proper on anything else? Mr. HUBBELL. No, Senator, and he never would. Senator SIMON. Is it conceivable in your mind that either President Clinton or Mrs. Clinton would have asked Vince Foster to do anything improper? Mr. HUBBELL. It is inconceivable that they would ask Vince to do anything improper. Senator SIMON. If-because you were, as you've mentioned, a close friend of Vince Foster's-if either one had suggested something improper, you think Vince Foster would have told you about it? Mr. HUBBELL. Yes, I believe Vince would have got on the phone with me immediately and said I need to talk to you about this, and I would know about it. But it's just inconceivable to me that they would have ever done that.
