Shinbaum also refused to comment on the substance of Foxman's meeting with
investigators, saying it "was between him and the government."
The investigators are looking at the process Rich used to gain a pardon, which
allegedly bypassed the normal vetting process. The committee, chaired by Rep.
Dan Burton (R-Ind.), has already held two hearings on the pardons, interviewing
Rich's attorney and Clinton administration officials.
The committee will be releasing a list of everyone investigators have contacted
about the pardon.
Foxman's meeting with investigators came the day he issued a statement
explaining why he participated in the Rich pardon.
"I did so because I believed, along with many others whom I respect, that Mr.
Rich deserved a second chance," Foxman said in the statement. "In hindsight,
this case probably should not have had my involvement."
Shinbaum refused to elaborate on the statement, and said it is unrelated to
Foxman's conversation with investigators.
