WASHINGTON –– Bill Clinton's brother-in-law received about $200,000 for successfully lobbying for a pardon and a prison commutation that the former president granted on his last day in office, The Associated Press has learned. The money has been returned.
Clinton and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, said Wednesday they were unaware of the arrangements with Hugh Rodham. They said they had asked him to return the money and were "deeply dismayed" by what had happened.
Rodham, brother of Mrs. Clinton, returned the money in the past 24 hours, according to sources familiar with the arrangement.
The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Rodham was paid for months of work on the prison commutation request of Carlos Vignali and received a "success fee" for helping win the pardon of Almon Glenn Braswell.
