Filegate investigation [judicial watch]
http://www.judicialwatch.org/archive/ois/cases/filegate/SubCertBrief.htm
Associate White House Counsel Cheryl Mills similarly testified that Livingstone was being considered for a low-level, administrative position. Deposition of Cheryl Mills before the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, United States House of Representatives, attached as Exhibit 16, at 559; 560-63.
After Filegate had occurred, but before it had become publicly known, The White House itself was apparently concerned about the public’s perception of Livingstone. A December 1994 internal ‘task list’ created by Jane Sherburne, Special Counsel to the President, enumerated no fewer than thirty-nine (39) areas of scandal vulnerability.

Then there’s another obscure 90s scandal — the White House Data Base
from TPDL 1998-Dec-8, syndicated by Nando Media and Scripps Howard, by Linda Seebach:
Early on, that was the Clinton administration’s position too. Cheryl Mills, then associate counsel to the president, wrote in a memo dated Jan. 17, 1994, ‘Once White House employees integrate information provided by any source into the database system, it becomes government property . . . (and) may be provided to a source outside the federal government only for authorized purposes.’
But that policy didn’t jibe with the DNC’s fund-raising efforts. One document objects to the ‘territorial’ nature of the Social Office of the White House and its difficulty in finding out ‘who has been taken care of to date.’
Under the heading ‘Fund-raising Interference,’ it complains, ‘DNC solicitation is subverted due to major donors being invited to high level White House events regardless of the date of amount of contribution. This is a disincentive especially for the trustee level contributor.’

[quick snippet]
At 11:02 p.m., the President telephoned Betty Currie at
home as well.
That evening, Vernon Jordan called deputy White House
counsel Cheryl Mills.
Although the following day, January 19, 1998, was a
national holiday honoring Martin Luther King, Jr., the flurry of activity continued.
