The release of 116 pages of billing records by Hillary Clinton's lawyers has revealed significant details about her involvement with Madison Guaranty Savings and Loan, including approximately 60 hours of work she performed for the failing institution. The records, which were "discovered" in a White House office, indicate that Clinton had more extensive communication with Madison executives than she had previously admitted. The billing records, which refer to over two dozen meetings between Clinton and Madison owner James McDougal and other executives, contradict Clinton's earlier statements about the nature and extent of her work.
