Bernard W. Nussbaum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernard W. Nussbaum (born 1937) is an American attorney, most known for having been White House Counsel under Bill Clinton.
Nussbaum graduated from Stuyvesant High School in 1954,[1] from Columbia College in 1958, and from Harvard Law School in 1961. He then became an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. He joined the law firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz in 1966, about one year after the founding of the firm and is, as of 2006, still a partner in that firm. In 1974, he was a senior member of the staff of the House Judiciary Committee investigating the Watergate scandal. During that period he worked closely with Hillary Rodham.
In 1993, he became counsel to the President, when Hillary Rodham Clinton was First Lady. During his tenure he was involved in handling the early stages of the Whitewater scandal as well as Vince Foster's death. He resigned in 1994. He was later investigated for his role in the Filegate matter, but was cleared of any wrongdoing by Whitewater Independent Counsel Robert Ray's 2000 final report on the matter.
As of 2006, he is a member of the board of the Drum Major Institute.
