WASHINGTON (AP) - Bill Clinton's brother-in-law received nearly $400,000 for lobbying for a pardon and a prison commutation that the former president granted on his last day in office, legal sources told The Associated Press. The money was returned Wednesday at the Clintons' request.
Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton (news - web sites), said they were unaware of the arrangements with Hugh Rodham and were ``deeply disturbed'' by what had happened. Rodham contacted the White House at least once in connection with one of the cases, legal sources said.
