Additional Details

"The President and I are so grateful for your many acts of service and leadership but none more than your willingness to serve as a Trustee and spokesman for the Legal Expense Trust. We appreciate especially your public commitment to us and to the Presidency. You did a superb job at the press conference under difficult circumstances. . . ."
The Presidential Legal Expense Trust was established on June 28, 1994, for the purpose of covering legal expenses incurred by either Bill or Hillary. By March of 1999, over $4.5 million had been raised to help offset expenses incurred from Congress's impeachment inquiry and trial, the Whitewater investigation, and other lawsuits.
