In March 2000, President Clinton pardoned Edgar Gregory, Jr. and his wife, Vonna, for a 1982 bank fraud conviction. Legal filings show that just two months after the Clintons issued the pardon, Gregory's carnival company, United Shows, began dispersing payments to Hillary's brother, Anthony Rodham, totaling $107,000. These payments were supposed to be loans, but Rodham never paid the money back. (One may question whether or not he was ever expected to pay them back at all.) Unfortunately for Rodham, the company went bankrupt in 2002, and control of its finances transferred to a court appointed trustee, who then began to try to recoup the payments.
The case eventually wound up in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. A consent order filed on Tuesday prevents Rodham from accessing the $142,000 he currently has in his bank account, pending a hearing next month.
