![]() “How and why did this guy get a couple hundred grand?” Corallo said. “Now we want to know how he can explain this money.”Ĭorallo said investigators also want an explanation for the source of the traveler’s checks, which he described as worth a “couple hundred grand” and that had been endorsed twice by Roger Clinton and cashed. “Well, we decided to check it out ourselves, and it traced back to Rosario Gambino,” Corallo said. He said it was made out to a music-related business that Roger Clinton controls. He said the check was signed by Anna Gambino, whom he described as Rosario’s daughter, and drawn on a company owned by the Gambino family. “That check, that $50,000, was the real eye-popper for us.”Ĭorallo said the reason the $50,000 stood out was because Roger Clinton otherwise seemed to have no steady means of financial support, and yet was living rather well in Southern California. “We asked him, ‘What did you do to get this $50,000 payment? Did you do any work for the Gambino family? Is this $50,000 in return for that work?’ ![]() “So we wrote him another letter, and we had some very pointed questions for him,” Corallo said. The most recent affront to the committee, Corallo said, was when Roger Clinton appeared on a television program last week and denied that any money was “exchanged” or given to him for pardons or other presidential favors. But at each step, he has refused to be interviewed or asked questions, and his lawyers have indicated that, if called to testify, he would plead the 5th Amendment against incriminating himself. Mark Corallo, chief spokesman for the House Government Reform Committee, said the panel’s investigators have tried repeatedly to get Roger Clinton to cooperate with them in their review. ![]()
