Ex-Clinton lawyer Bernard Nussbaum died in his Manhattan home at 84 on Sunday, the New York Times reported.
Mr. Nussbaum was President Clinton’s first White House lawyer and caused a lot of controversy when he interfered in the Justice Department’s investigation into former deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster’s ‘suicide.’
On July 20, 1993, Vince Foster, President Bill Clinton’s childhood friend and Hillary Clinton’s closest White House confidante, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Fort Marcy Park, McLean, Virginia.
Hillary Clinton was behind a 30-hour delay in releasing Vince Foster’s ‘suicide note’ to authorities.
The Clinton White House removed documents from Vince Foster’s office and then-White House Counsel Bernard Nussbaum impeded the DOJ’s probe into the deceased deputy White House counsel.
According to numerous reports, Vince Foster ‘knew too much’ about the Clintons’ involvement in the Whitewater scandal.
