Clinton Pardons Being Probed
By Pat Milton
Associated Press Writer


NEW YORK -- The U.S. attorney's office is investigating whether former President Clinton commuted the sentences of four convicted swindlers in exchange for votes for his wife's Senate campaign from their community, The Associated Press learned Friday.

The Hasidic community, New Square in Rockland County, voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Rodham Clinton when she won her Senate seat in November.

The commutations are part of a burgeoning scandal into several of the 140 pardons the president made on his final day in office, Jan. 20. Also under study are two pardons in which Mrs. Clinton's brother Hugh Rodham received funds, and the possible role of the former president's brother, Roger Clinton.
