The documents include computer printouts and photocopied pages made during the ‘92 campaign. They were removed from the Rose firm in ‘92 by the late Vince Foster. Mrs. Clinton has said she had “no idea” the papers were in the White House. Her lawyer David Kendall later said “it is possible” Mrs. Clinton was shown the records in ‘92, but “she does not recall.” Kendall now says the fingerprint discovery is “not surprising.” At the least, the findings show Mrs. Clinton reviewed the records in ‘92, undercutting her claim she couldn’t recall many of the mid-’80s meetings they cover. And, says one source, they could be “critical” in building a potential obstruction-of-justice case against her. Starr’s office declined to comment on the FBI finding, but NEWSWEEK has learned the prosecutor is intensifying his inquiry. In recent weeks, Mrs. Clinton’s chief of staff, Maggie Williams, and close friend Susan Thomases have been recalled by a grand jury for further questioning about the records.
