Judge In GAO-Cheney Case Is Ex-Whitewater Prosecutor -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 09:18 ET DJ Judge In GAO-Cheney Case Is Ex-Whitewater Prosecutor 26 Feb 09:18 WASHINGTON (AP)--A former Whitewater prosecutor who forced the Clinton White House to reveal information is the trial judge in a new battle over White House disclosure. U.S. District Judge John Bates will handle the lawsuit over Vice President Dick Cheney's task force meetings with energy industry executives and lobbyists. A political independent who gave $1,000 to Bush's presidential campaign in 1999, Bates was one of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's deputies. Bates argued successfully to a federal appeals court in 1997 that notes of White House lawyers' conversations with Hillary Rodham Clinton must be turned over to a federal grand jury in the Whitewater investigation. In a 2-1 ruling, the appeals court overruled Mrs. Clinton's claim that the conversations were protected by attorney-client privilege. Mrs. Clinton could be indicted in the Whitewater investigation, Bates told the appeals court in 1997 as he underscored the gravity of the issue and the prosecutors' desire to gain as many facts as possible. Starr's office decided not to prosecute the first lady. The General Accounting Office, the investigative arm of Congress, sued Cheney on Friday seeking disclosure of which energy company officials met with the White House energy policy task force Cheney chaired. Bates was chosen by computer from more than a dozen judges to hear the case. (END) DOW JONES NEWS 02-26-02 09:18 AM
