Another of Hillary Clinton's brothers has been caught up in the controversy over presidential pardons.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton said she ‘‘did not have any involvement’’ in the pardons her husband granted on his way out of the White House and expressed dismay that her brother was paid lavishly to lobby for the relief of two men.

Bill Clinton's brother-in-law received nearly $400,000 for lobbying for a pardon that the former US President granted on his last day in office.
