Willey accused the President of groping her in the Oval Office in a kind of low-intensity sexual assault. Steele first corroborated Willey's story, but then denied it and claimed to have lied to help her then-friend, Kathleen Willey.After acting as attorney and spokesperson for Steele, Luque represented two other Clinton Administration figures: Maria Hsia, who was convicted of a number of illegal campaign finance schemes during the 1996 Clinton election bid, and Hugh Rodham, Hillary Clinton's brother, who has been accused of influence peddling in the sale of pardons by outgoing President Bill Clinton.
