McAuliffe is an unnamed player in the indictment of ousted IBT political director William W. Hamilton, who is set to go on trial Oct. 12 in Manhattan. Hamilton was charged in 1998 with conspiracy, embezzlement of union funds, mail fraud, wire fraud, making false statements to an election officer and perjury before a grand jury. Prosecutors say Hamilton illegally schemed with McAuliffe to swap union money for Democratic cash. McAuliffe hasn't been charged. His attorney, Richard Ben-Veniste, confirmed that McAuliffe is a possible witness.
