Clinton Donor "Central Figure" in Oil For Food Scandal

Remember Marc Rich? He is the billionaire commodities trader who received a controversial pardon at the end of the Clinton presidency. Rich and his wife were major donors to all the Clinton campaign (including Hillary's) and a major donor for the Clinton Library.

Rich is currently under investigation for his role in the oil-for-food scandal. According to investigators, Rich and a partner set up several companies in Liechtenstein to serve as "non-end users" to purchase Iraqi oil and resell it.

Law enforcement officials call Rich a "central figure" in the scandal.
