(11:55:15) He went on to say in response to this question at page 199: Question: You indicated that you were not surprised a bit that there would be both public and private files in Mr. Foster's office; isn't that so? Answer: I think what I said was I was not surprised a bit that he would be working on both public legal matters and personal legal matters of the President. Question: And this is on the basis of your understanding of the practical function of the White House Counsel's Office? Answer: Yes. Now, does that comport with your understanding of the function of White House Counsel? Mr. HUBBELL. It does. I think I've said, I believe, the President is in a unique position. I find it-it would almost be impossible for White House Counsel not to have some involvement in some personal matters for the President. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. With respect to personal financial matters, could you explain, with respect to the official requirements of the Counsel's Office in assisting the President with various financial disclosure and other forms, why it would be likely that such personal financial matters and documents might be found in the Office of Counsel to the President? Mr, HUBBELL. There are, as I think everybody knows, a lot of disclosure forms that have to be filed by governmental officials, and you want to make sure that those are done appropriately and properly. I don't know of any person in the world who is more scrutinized than the President of the United States, whether it's a Republican or a Democrat. Everything that-any public form, any filing is going to be gone over with a fine-tooth comb. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. So, to bring closure on this particular issue, Mr. Adams was the individual at the Justice Department who is a senior person charged with providing ethics advice to lawyers at the Justice Department, essentially a lawyer teaching lawyers their ethical responsibility. Mr. Adams was a person, one of two, along with Mr. Margolis, who had been sent by Deputy Attorney General Philip Heymann to the Counsel's Office to participate in the search, and it was Mr. Adams' view that it did not surprise him a bit that personal financial records were in Vincent Foster's file. Mr. HUBBELL. Doesn't surprise me, either. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. I have nothing further at this time, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Faircloth. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Hubbell, to just go back very briefly to the Eastern Shore weekend and then move on from that, why did you feel compelled to spend the weekend with Mr. Foster? You appeared very much to want to spend that weekend with him because of some shuffling of arrangements. Would you mind telling me why? Was there any special reason you wanted to? 117 Mr. HUBBELL. Vince and Lisa are my very, very good friends, and it was a wonderful place that we had been invited to be at. It had a tennis court, it had a swimming pool, the lake or the river is just wonderful, and I wanted to share that weekend with my good friend and relax. Our host, I believe it's-the property is actually owned by Carolyn's father. There were other guests; one was a tennis coach and he gave lessons to both Lisa and my wife. Senator FAIRCLOTH. I thank you. Mr. Hubbell, Vince Foster was a lifelong friend of President Clinton's. I believe you testified they were in kindergarten together. Mr. Foster worked closely with Hillary Clinton at the Rose Law Firm and has been referred to as her mentor at the firm. Would you say that Mr. Foster had a very special relationship with the Clintons? Mr. HUBBELL. He was a very close friend with both Mr. and Mrs. Clinton- President and Mrs. Clinton. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Now, moving to the Monday evening following the weekend we referred to, you and the President were going to watch a movie in the White House, and the President called Vince Foster in his office to invite him to come join you in watching the movie; is that correct?
July 19, 1995 - Part 2
(12:00:19) Mr. HUBBELL, I don't believe I was there when he invited Vince, but I believe he called him, and-I might have been there then. But I did watch a movie with the President that evening. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Did you discuss Vince Foster that evening with the President? Was he discussed? Mr. HUBBELL. I don't have any memory of that. It is certainly possible because it was supposed to be Vince and Bruce and the President and I. But I'll be honest, I only remember what the movie was. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Did you specifically ask the President to call Vince Foster to come to view the movie? Mr. HUBBELL. No, I did not. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Were you surprised when Mr. Foster refused the President's invitation to come over to the White House? Mr. HUBBELL. I was not surprised at that. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Was that unusual? I would have thought that, normally, when the President calls, you come. Mr. HUBBELL. It was unusual, but I was not surprised, say, as opposed to a Friday night or a weekend. It was a Monday night, and it was an unusual circumstance. It wasn't like there were a whole lot of people there to watch a movie. It was just a few of us. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Shortly before his death, did Mr. Foster ever confide in you any strain in his relationship or any falling out with the Clintons? Mr. HUBBELL. No, Senator. Senator FAIRCLOTH. He did not. OK. Mr. Hubbell, as you know, Betsey Wright served as Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff when he was Governor of Arkansas from 1983 to 1989. Betsey Wright is one of the most loyal and trusted friends of Bill, Shortly after her good friend Bill Clinton was elected President, Betsey Wright moved to Washington and joined a high-priced Washington lobbying firm. Mr. Hubbell, you had in your possession at the Rose Law Firm files labeled Madison and Whitewater that were collectively known as the Betsey files. You testified yesterday that you brought those 118 files with you to Washington, and you kept them at your house. Did Vince Foster ever review those files known as the Betsey files? Mr. HUBBELL. No, he did not. Ile was aware they were in my house, but Ile never reviewed them. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Mr, Hubbell, what documents were in those files that related specifically to the Whitewater Land Development Corporation or to Madison Guaranty? Mr. HUBBELL. I did not review those files in detail. I do know that in those files were drafts of accounting reports that Jim Lyons had done during the campaign, and I believe there were some newspaper articles and questions submitted by Mr. Gerth. Those are the things that I remember were in the files, Senator FAIRCLOTH. Was there anything in those files dealing with the First Lady's commodity trades in which she converted a $1,000 investment to a $100,000 profit? Was there anything dealing with that? Mr. HUBBELL. In the campaign files, I do not know, sir. Senator FAIRCLOTH. -in these so-called Betsey files, the Madison and Whitewater files? Mr. HUBBELL. Maybe I can help you, Senator. There were more than Madison files collected by the campaign that were in my house. There were files on a number of issues. Included in those files was a file labeled Madison/Whitewater, I believe. In the Madison/Whitewater file I don't believe there was anything to do with commodities trading. I don't know if in the other boxes there was a file regarding commodities trading or not. I just don't know. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Did Mrs. Clinton or any of her representatives ever make a request for any of the so-called Betsey files or these files? Mr. HUBBELL. There was, at one time, a request for one file, I went to the files, retrieved them and delivered them to Mrs. Clinton's office. Senator FAIRCLOTH. What request was that file? Mr. HUBBELL. If you recall, Senator, in June 1993 there was a question raised in Parade Magazine whether the President had a half brother that had not been-he didn't know about. So they asked me to go to the file, and there was a file on the genealogy of the President's natural father, and that's the file I delivered to the Clintons, Mrs. Clinton's office. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Why did the Clintons want to keep these files in a chain of custody with lawyers only?

(12:05:32) Mr. HUBBELL. I can only speak for me as one of the lawyers who was advising the transition. There were already lawsuits being filed against Betsey and the Clintons that could be used as a fishing expedition for personal files of the Clintons. We wanted, to the extent those files contained attorney-client privileged materials, to protect that privilege and keep it in a chain of custody. That was my thinking, Senator. I can't speak for the other lawyers who were involved, Senator FAIRCLOTH. Did you have any discussion at any time with the President or the First Lady or anyone else relating to the transfer of these files? 119 Mr. HUBBELL. I never had a discussion with the President or the First Lady about the files other than that I had taken them into my possession. I told the President that, Senator FAIRCLOTH. Yesterday I believe you testified that David Kendall came to your house to get the so-called Betsey riles. I believe earlier you said that you took the Betsey files to David Kendall. Would you clarify how the Betsey files got to David Kendall? Mr. HUBBELL. Yes, I will. Once David was hired, I met with David. I did bring to him a few of the files that he asked for prior to that meeting. So I did deliver to David, on that day that I had a meeting with David, a few files. That Saturday David came with an employee of Williams & Connolly and removed all of the files from my house with me. Senator FAIRCLOTH. So you delivered some and then he came and Mr. HUBBELL. I delivered a stack that may have been a couple of inches high of files that he had asked about, and then that weekend he came and got the Senator FAIRCLOTH. Got the remainder? Mr. HUBBELL. Yes, Senator FAIRCLOTH. Mr. Hubbell, in your deposition you said that Jim Blair was helping to, and I quote, "wrap up Whitewater," Now, Jim Blair is General Counsel for Tyson Foods and, as you testified yesterday, one of the closest friends of the Clintons. Hillary Clinton has publicly stated that Jim Blair advised her on her commodity trades which resulted in her $100,000 profit. Jim Blair even spent the night of President Clinton's inauguration at the White House. Mr. Hubbell, why was Jim Blair involved in wrapping up the Whitewater deal? Mr. HUBBELL. Jim assisted in the campaign, as did his wife, and one of the issues that he worked on was Whitewater. He had volunteered, I believe, to negotiate the transfer of the Clintons' interest in Whitewater. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Is that what we mean by "wrapping up Whitewater"? Mr. HUBBELL. Yes, I believe the thought was that they would try to transfer it to Mr. McDougal and end the relationship. Senator FAIRCLOTH. I thank you, Mr. Chairman. The CHAIRMAN. Senator Sarbanes. Senator MURRAY. Mr. Chairman, may I just ask a question on scope, just for my clarification? Is the commodities trading issue within the scope of this Committee? The CHAIRMAN. We are not looking into the commodities matter. We are looking into only those matters that are touched upon in the resolution and/or that come in as a related matter. I don't think the Senator was looking to go into that, but certainly there is nothing that precludes one from mentioning areas. To go into it, to examine it, that is not the scope of this Committee, nor do we intend to go into it, That certainly doesn't preclude somebody from identifying by saying so-and-so who was involved in X, Y and Z, because it is a complex picture, so Members will, at times, have the ability to do that. We are not going to look into the commodities matter. 120 Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. I yield to Senator Simon. I should say the scope is very carefully spelled out in the resolution that was passed by the Senate and does not encompass that particular subject. Senator Simon. OPENING COMMENTS OF SENATOR PAUL SIMON Senator SIMON. Thank you, Senator Sarbanes and Mr. Chairman. The good news, Mr. Hubbell, is you are getting toward the end. There's just a few summarizing questions. First, it's fairly clear that Bernie Nussbaum is developing into a heavy in this whole question period. You have testified that he was like a brother to Vince Foster, that he was a pallbearer at the funeral.

(12:15:21) Senator SIMON. Finally-and then I will yield some time to our counsel if anything remains-you have testified that he was worried about the travelsituation. At one point you say in your deposition, "He seems to have blown it out of proportion." At another point you say: He was upset about, you know, The Wall Street Journal, the question mark and the paper and the editorials, And, after I had gone through four or five, you know, I had gotten to the point where I was joking about them. I was trying to get him not to be upset about them. He was upset about the travel situation. Did he at any point indicate to you that he was upset about the Whitewater situation? Mr. HUBBELL. Vince never raised with me Whitewater as a concern. He never raised it. He did raise the Travel Office. He did raise other issues, but Whitewater was never mentioned. Senator SIMON. I thank you. I yield the balance of my time. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Thank you, Senator Simon. Mr. Hubbell, I'd like to pursue some questions put to you by Senator Hatch earlier with respect to privilege and waiver of privilege. The question of waiver of privilege has come up, and I would like it if you could explain what you understand occurs if someone takes privileged matters, "someone" being an attorney, and discloses just a part of that in terms of whether there can be an argument that having done so, hecan no longer claim privilege for the balance of the material? Mr. HUBBELL. My understanding is based on practicing in Arkansas, again, I have to tell you, and that is that there can be, under some circumstances, a limited disclosure and you don't waive the privilege. On the other basis, there can he inadvertent disclo- 122 sure and you do waive the privilege, but it usually relates to the issue. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. It relates to the type of proceeding, if you're in a court proceeding, and whether there is a court order or written agreement with respect to a limited waiver; is that what you are Mr. HUBBELL. That's correct. Usually it's very difficult to talk about it in these terms because my experience, and I think most people's experience, is your dealing with discovery in a court proceeding where there are pretty straightforward rules and precedent. I'm hesitant to be an expert when I don't know if there is any precedent out there at all when it relates to executive privilege or attorney-client privilege and this Committee. I just, I-again, I refer everybody to the best lawyer I know on these issues, and that's Walter Dellinger. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. I'm sure Mr. Dellinger appreciates that spot, and the comments you made are well deserved. With respect to the practice of law in New York, I think you would be probably the first to say that an inadvertent or partial waiver of the privilege might be seized upon by others as waiving the entire privilege in any given situation. Mr. HUBBELL. I hate to admit this, but even in Arkansas I've seen some lawyers jump on an inadvertent or partial disclosure and claim total waiver of the privilege. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. So, when Bernie Nussbaum had put on his New York litigator's hat, in your view, this might be one of the things he was concerned about? Mr. HUBBELL. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. Now, you were responsible for the matters in the Civil Division of the Justice Department; is that correct? Not the Criminal Division? Mr. HUBBELL. That's correct, although the Civil Divisions, I have to be candid, each have a criminal component. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. With respect to-I see my time is up. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That's all right. The CHAIRMAN. If counsel wants to conclude, I'll let you do that. Mr. BEN-VENISTE. No, I'm finished. That's fine. The CHAIRMAN. OK. Mr. Hubbell, I think one of the questions was put to you by Senator Simon about whether or not you discussed with Vince Foster any of his concerns over White- water, and you said no. Yet before you indicated there were discussions with respect to Whitewater, so you don't really mean that he had never spoken to you about Whitewater concerns? Mr. HUBBELL. I hope I did not convey that we never talked about Whitewater. The CHAIRMAN. That's the impression Mr. HUBBELL. I didn't mean to. The CHAIRMAN. OK I just wanted to clarify that.

(12:20:47) Mr. HUBBELL. Let me try to clarify it. We talked about, in the transition, the transfer and getting it done, and we talked about the fact that he was doing the returns and the difficulty of obtaining documentation. The CHAIRMAN. OK. Mr. HUBBELL. But I 123 The CHAIRMAN. All right. I just wanted to-- Senator SIMON. Mr. Chairman, in fairness, I asked the witness whether-I mentioned that he was upset about the Travel Office, and I asked whether he had been concerned, suggesting that he might be upset about Whitewater. Mr. Hubbell responded that he had not expressed concern on that. The CHAIRMAN. Let me pursue that just very quickly. Did he express concern about the documentation in terms of-that was a concern, and you were aware that he was having difficulty in this area, weren't you? Mr. HUBBELL. I guess where I'm trying to explain is yes, he had a concern, but when I'm talking--I believe he was raising it in the context of the things that I thought Vince had blown out of proportion, that being the privacy, the Travel Office, the picture in The Wall Street Journal and the question mark. Those seem to methat Vince was-as now I see it, evidence of the disease he had. Those were the concerns The CHAIRMAN. Primary concerns that you were aware of that were deeply troubling him. Mr. HUBBELL. Right, and what he talked to me about and I thought he had blown out of proportion. The CHAIRMAN. But he did express to you that there was the problem of dealing with the accounting and whatnot on Whitewater; that was of a concern, not of the concern that we're talking about? Mr. HUBBELL. Yes, I didn't mean to imply he never talked The CHAIRMAN. I just thought I'd clarify. Let me, if I might, refer you to the page of notes from Vince Foster's office dealing specifically with Whitewater. It touches on a number of things. It's DKSN 00236; Senator Mack referred to it yesterday. There is a portion that talks about if you did one thing it would open up a can of worms. If we go down to the bottom of the page, number 3, it says, " prior deduction of $48,000 price payment in 1980." Then, it says, "Colorado came up with a theory to justify, but it's shaky. 1) Mr. Lyons, during the campaign, did put out a report, is that not correct, dealing with Whitewater and what the investment was and what it was about, basically? Mr. HUBBELL. Yes, he did. The CHAIRMAN. Is it trite that Mr. Lyons was also referred to as "Colorado"? Mr. HUBBELL. I The CHAIRMAN. I mean, that's his-he comes from Colorado? Mr. HUBBELL. That's the way I would read that note, whether it's Mr. Lyons or the accounting firm in Colorado that he used. The CHAIRMAN. OK, but I mean-and he has been referred to as Colorado? Mr. HUBBELL. Him personally? The CHAIRMAN. Yes. Mr. HUBBELL, I've never heard Jim The CHAIRMAN- You've never heard Jim-but it is safe to assume? Mr. HUBBELL. I assume that's either Jim or the accounting firm he used. 124 The CHAIRMAN. Thank you. I want to yield up to 5 minutes to Senator Faircloth because he wants to finish a point. Senator Faircloth. Senator FAIRCLOTH. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Hubbell, this is a very important question and I want you to think, if you will, very carefully. When you were Associate Attor- ney General, were you aware on July 20, 1993, or any time before that, that the FBI or the U.S. Attorney in Little Rock was inves- tigating David Hale? Mr. HUBBELL. I believe that there was something in the paper in Little Rock during the campaign that said that David Hale was under some sort of investigation. Senator DODD. Mr. Chairman, can I inquire, at this point, are we getting beyond the scope? I don't want to keep on raising it- I The CHAIRMAN. I'm going to permit the Senator and any Senator some latitude to see where it's going, and if it goes beyond the scope, then I will say it does. At this point in time, any Member and every Member has a right to refer to somebody for some kind of historical accuracy or picture. So I will ask the Senator to be careful as it relates to the scope. We're not going to go into the Hale matter, but certainly I believe there may be a connection.

(12:25:36) I think I know, because the Senator raised the question yesterday-and I'm going to ask that the time be deducted for this, that we take out this time that subject to connection, I think I know where he's going. He referred to certain documents and calls that went to Mr. Foster's office. If he's pursuing that, if he is, then he'd be perfectly all right in doing it, So let's see where he goes. Senator DODD. I understand what you are saying, Mr. Chairman. There is certainly no desire The CHAIRMAN. I'll be very Senator DODD. There is no desire on anyone's part here The CHAIRMAN. To impede, I understand that. Senator DODD. -to get into it. I don't want to. The CHAIRMAN. We will watch the scope very carefully. I understand the Senator's concerns; I share them, but at this point I'm going to let him continue. Senator DODD. I appreciate that, but I'm just looking for a process question, too, here, in a sense, beyond this. What happens is, obviously, we're in a very public forum here and things get said, and all of a sudden the fact after a decision is made is it's beyond the scope. All of a sudden we've gone into another area. Do you understand what I'm saying? The CHAIRMAN. I will be mindful of that, and if my colleagues send me a note on it or want to raise it publicly, fine, but I III be mindful of it. I'm going to let him continue at this point. Senator DODD. Let me also, Mr. Chairman-let me inquire on the David Hale matter. Have we checked with the Independent Counsel? Is this a matter The CHAIRMAN. We are not going to pursue the matter of David Hale and/or what his involvement is. But certainly as it relates to whether or not there was a communication that may or may not have come from anyone to Vince Foster or-I mean, that would be something that is relevant. I don't know whether the Senator intends to pursue that, but I just use that by way of illustration. it 125 seems to me that that's probably likely. The Senator has never shared with me what questions he's going to raise; let me assure you of that. I'd like to know, but in any event, why don't we proceed, and we'll be mindful of that. Senator SARBANES. Let me Senator FAIRCLOTH. Senator Dodd, let me briefly touch on that. We have filtered the questions with the resolution and if you look at Resolution 120 on page 6, and the paragraph B section 4, it says, "to make such findings of facts as are warranted and appropriate." We have filtered the questions to be appropriate or we wouldn't be asking them. Senator SARBANES. Mr. Chairman, let me make Senator FAIRCLOTH. Appropriate The CHAIRMAN. Now, look. One at a time. Senator Sarbanes. Senator SARBANES. Let me just make this observation on that point. Resolution 120 set out the scope of the inquiry. We've been coordinating with the Independent Counsel as to what aspects are set out in the resolution the Committee could move ahead to examine. The one we, in effect-where they said it would not impede their inquiry was the treatment of the papers in Foster's office. The CHAIRMAN. Correct. Senator SARBANES. The other matters that are listed in the resolution on which hearings can be done, we've not yet reached because we've not yet reached that understanding with the Independent Counsel and those have been deferred over until the fall and further communication between us and the Independent Counsel. So the focus of these hearings is how the papers in Foster's office were handled, and I think it's important to keep the focus there. The other observation The CHAIRMAN. I concur with the Senator there, and that is my intent, to see to it that we stick to the issue. While I will permit certain latitude because- subject to connection if there is a connection that is not part of the criminal investigation as it relates to David Hale-he has pled guilty-I will permit that. For example, was there a contact that was made known by X or Y-that aspect may be outside of the scope but would not preclude ascertaining if there was some kind of connection. If it goes further than that, I will rule it out. Senator SARBANES. The other observation I might The CHAIRMAN. Now, in fairness to the Senator, I think I've set down-and I hope that I have responded in a manner which constitutes the area of governance of this Committee. At this time, I'd like to see that the Senator has his opportunity to proceed.
