On FNC's Special Report with Brit Hume and reporter Rita Cosby:
"Details are emerging about yet another pardon with possible
ties to large donations. This pardon was granted at the end of
December to NASCAR racing team owner Rick Hendrick, who was
convicted for mail fraud in 1997 and is close friends with Hugh
McColl, the Chairman of Bank of America, who wrote a letter to
then-President Clinton recommending a pardon for Hendrick. On
December 7, McColl announced that his bank will donate $500,000 to
the Clinton presidential library fund. Two weeks later, Clinton
pardoned Rick Hendrick."
