STARR INDICTS HUBBELL - AGAIN

Independent counsel Kenneth Starr brought a new indictment against presidential pal Webster Hubbell yesterday on charges linked to the original Whitewater investigation.

"I know of no wrongdoing by the First Lady or the President, and nothing the independent counsel can do to me is going to make me lie," Hubbell said. "I just don't know what it's going to take to make this go away."

Starr's grand jury charged the former Justice Department official with 15 felony counts of fraud, perjury and "corruptly impeding" federal banking regulators' investigation of many of the original Whitewater allegations.

The charges, the third time Starr has accused Hubbell of wrongdoing, carry a maximum penalty of 110 years in prison and $4 million in fines. They include the charge that Hubbell committed perjury before the House Banking Committee during nationally televised Whitewater hearings.

The indictment was handed up after a federal judge in July dismissed an earlier tax-evasion case against Hubbell on the grounds that Starr had exceeded his jurisdiction in the Whitewater investigation. Starr is seeking to reinstate those charges through an appeals court.

Hubbell quit his No. 3 Justice Department job in March 1994 under an ethical cloud. He later pleaded guilty to charges brought by Starr's office accusing him of defrauding his clients and the Rose Law Firm in Arkansas, where he worked with Hillary Rodham Clinton. He was released from prison in 1997 after serving 16 months and cooperated with Starr's investigation.

"It is cruel and unfair to keep indicting the same person over and over again in the hope that he may some day tell him something about his real quarry" the Clintons, said John Nields, Hubbell's lawyer.

White House spokesman Jim Kennedy said, "The President and First Lady are saddened by today's events . . . and would like to express their concern for Webb and his family."
