Mcdougal Seeks Day In Open Court

Whitewater figure Susan McDougal, jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury in Little Rock, said Tuesday she would cooperate if she could testify in open court.

“Yes, I will testify if my actions, my words, and the way I say the things, if the public could see that and judge for themselves,” she said in an interview with CNN.

“But don’t put me in a grand jury with a bunch of OIC lawyers who are not interested in the truth in the first place,” she said, referring to the Office of Independent Counsel.

She also said she was not guilty of the charges in the Whitewater investigation.
