Indonesian businessman James Riady made frequent visits to the White House during half a dozen trips to Washington, discussing U.S.-Asian trade relations with the president. And one participant in a Clinton-Riady meeting was international business consultant Mark Middleton, a visitor to the White House 41 times during the past 13 months, this according to Secret Service logs. That’s the picture drawn Monday by President Clinton’s own chief spokesperson, Mike McCurry, responding to the growing controversy over foreign-linked political donations to the Democratic Party. And just this aside: Our producer Julie Drizin went to the National Portrait Gallery this weekend, and there she saw a bronze bust of President Clinton. The plaque under it read, “Donated in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Mochtar Riady.” Yes, Mochtar is James Riady’s father. The family has clearly been serving as a conduit between the Clintons and the Indonesian dictator, Suharto.
