And I'm being a bit generous in my definition of prime time, counting this show because its repeat airing occurs in prime time in the Mountain and Pacific time zones. FNC's Carl Cameron told viewers how Zhu Rongji had arrived in Los Angeles before he played a clip of Clinton arguing that bringing China into the WTO is in our interests. Chung has told a federal grand jury that the head of the Chinese intelligence agency gave him 300 grand to help President Clinton get re-elected. Congress plans to subpoena Chung and ask him about it. Just two weeks ago Chung received a fundraising form letter from Vice President Gore's campaign asking for contributions in 2000.
Aides say it was a mistake.
Since President Clinton visited China last year other concerns have deepened. Even Democrats now say Beijing's record on human rights repression and weapons proliferation has actually worsened. Democratic Congressman Nancy Pelosi got a few seconds before Cameron concluded by reporting that Clinton aides say he will raise contentious issues with the Chinese premier. Instead of heading to Albania this week Rivera traveled to Little Rock. But if the jurors look at the big picture, if they see as I do that Ken Starr's relentless pursuit of the President had very little to do with justice, and everything to do with putrid politics, then Susan McDougal will finally go free.
