Hot report 2005 The independent counsel investigation that led to the conviction of a former Clinton administration housing chief could come back to haunt Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, the New York Daily News reports. The newspaper "has learned that lawyers are fighting to suppress a potentially embarrassing final report from the probe that found Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros lied to the FBI about paying $250,000 in hush money to his ex-mistress," reporter James Gordon Meek writes. Mr. Cisneros paid a $10,000 fine after he was found guilty in 1999 and was later pardoned by President Clinton. And though neither Mrs. Clinton nor her husband was targeted by independent counsel David Barrett, his 420-page final report sent to a special court 13 months ago will include supposed abuses of power by his administration, sources told the News. After Mr. Cisneros was convicted, Mr. Barrett started looking into reports that the IRS and Justice Department aides stymied a tax fraud case against the disgraced HUD secretary and audited Clinton critics. Ex-IRS Commissioner Peggy Richardson, who remains a close friend of the Clintons, is among the officials cited in the report, sources said.
