Washington, Feb. 21 — Former President Bill Clinton's brother-in-law Hugh Rodham received nearly $400,000 in fees for lobbying for a presidential pardon and a prison commutation for two wealthy felons, Mr. Rodham's lawyer and other officials said today.
Mr. Rodham, a brother of Hillary Rodham Clinton, was paid the money after the pardon of Almon Glenn Braswell, a businessman convicted of mail fraud and perjury in 1983, and the release from prison of Carlos Vignali, a cocaine trafficker.
