DS, signed as president, one page, 8.5 x 11, March 7, 1999. In full: “This will certify that we have incurred legal expenses in connection with fundraising matters, from November 1, 1998 to January 31, 1999, in an amount of $38,348.42 as reflected on the attached statement of Williams & Connolly, dated March 3, 1999, as certified by David E. Kendall, Esq. A total of $365,039.11 is presently due for billed but unpaid legal fees and expenses. We further certify that we are familiar with the legal services rendered, that we have read the Clinton Legal Expense Trust Indenture, dated February 17, 1998, and that we believe these legal expenses are appropriate for reimbursement by the Trust.” Signed at the conclusion, “Bill Clinton,” and dated March 7, 1999, and signed underneath, “Hillary Rodham Clinton,” dated March 5, 1999. In fine condition. Both the Williams & Connolly Statement for Legal Services Rendered and the Certification by Counsel are included.

This presidential-signed document dates to an extremely litigious period during the Clinton administration. The Clinton Legal Expense Trust was formed in 1998 to continue raising money for legal expenses from the Whitewater real estate controversy involving President and Mrs. Clinton, plus the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit filed against the president. The trust also covered expenses in a second campaign fundraising controversy, legal fees resulting from the Monica Lewinsky matter, and the Clinton impeachment. Very interesting insight into the legal defense fund of the nation’s 42nd chief executive.
