Special Counsel Lloyd Cutler will lead off for the Clinton team. He’ll report on his internal review of contacts between White House aides and Treasury officials over a probe into a failed Arkansas S&L linked to the Clintons’ land venture. He is expected to acknowledge lapses in judgment by such key figures as former White House counsel Bernard Nussbaum. Treasury Secretary Lloyd Bentsen may squirm over a memo suggesting he may have been less than candid. Other administration officials, including George Stephanopoulos, may be grilled about their alleged faulty memories of events. But Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman will likely suffer most: memos suggest he misled Congress, and his diaries are said to contain embarrassingly blunt descriptions of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s distress over Whitewater. Altman sources say he’s defiant: “He ain’t gonna fall on his sword.”
