Bill Clinton’s White House records: Second batch of documents released
Another 4,000 pages of records from President Bill Clinton’s White House period have been released by the US National Archive.
The newly released records include edited versions of President Bill Clinton’s remarks to the nation after the 2000 election recount and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s speech to the Democratic National Convention that year.
Another document from an adviser to Vice President Al Gore offers instructions on how to respond to a January 1999 poll in USA Today that showed candidate George W. Bush leading Gore. The adviser urged Al Gore aides to “UNDERSPIN it and downplay its significance”.
This is the second batch of President Bill Clinton records to be released in recent weeks. The documents are being closely watched as former first lady and secretary of state Hillary Clinton considers another presidential bid in 2016.
