The Clinton Teamster scandal is just one of the hundreds that people would like to put behind us so we can move on - to new travesties of justice. President Clinton's chief 1996 fund-raiser sought to steer big Democratic donors to Teamster President Ron Carey's re-election despite his sworn denials, two witnessses have told the Senate's investigation into campaign fund-raising abuses. Terence McAuliffe, who was treasurer of the Clinton-Gore '96 campaign, said in sworn Senate testimony that he had no active part in discussions about a contribution swap scheme that triggered a federal grand jury investigation of the 1996 Teamsters election. Matthew Angle, executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, told Senate investigators that McAuliffe "asked did we know anybody that could or would write a check to Ron Carey and that if we could help Carey, then we would perhaps get contributions back to the DCCC." Rita Lewis, a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee aide, testified that "Terry said that if we ... could find a donor for Ron Carey's election" the Teamsters would "be more apt to give to Unity '96" -- a joint fund-raising effort of three Democratic organizations. - AP
