Revision as of 03:54, 29 May 2006

Joshua Steiner was a Clinton Administration Treasury Department chief of staff who told a Congressional Committee and Independent Prosecutor Ken Starr he had "lied" to his diary. Starr questioned Steiner on diary entries that contradicted his sworn testimony and that of Harold Ickes and George Stephanopoulos. The GOP tended to believe Steiner's diary statements were truthful despite his recantation.

In one such contradictory entry Steiner wrote Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos had called him to strongly reccommend Jay Stephens, a former Bush administration federal prosecutor, be fired as the RTC investigator on Whitewater. Stiener later gave sworn testimony that Stephanopoulos had only called to express reservations over Stephens leading the probe.
