Susan McDougal

Susan Carol McDougal (born 1955) is one of the many people prosecuted as a result of the Whitewater controversy of the 15 individuals who were convicted of federal charges.[clarification needed]

Her refusal to answer "three questions" for a grand jury, on whether President Bill Clinton lied in his testimony during her Whitewater trial, led her to receive a jail sentence of 18 months for contempt of court. That made up most of the total 22 months she spent incarcerated.

She received a full presidential pardon from Clinton in the final hours of his presidency in 2001.
