StumbleGrand jury investigating casino ruling
Tuesday, March 16, 1999 | 11:56 a.m.
The grand jury last week secretly heard for more than four hours from Loretta Avent, a former deputy assistant to the president.
Avent served as the White House liaison to the nation's Indian tribes in 1995, when lobbyists, backed by large campaign donations, sought to pressure the Clinton administration to reject a proposed Indian casino in Hudson, Wis.
The Republic reported the grand jury also has issued a subpoena for Interior Department records of a Midwestern tribe, the Shakopee Sioux, that opposed the casino application that's at the heart of the Babbitt probe.
