Editing Webster Hubbell (section)

==== Resignation and conviction ====
During the [[Whitewater controversy]], Hubbell was indicted for allegedly overbilling clients while in private practice. Hubbell had previously resigned as associate attorney general on April 14, 1994, to avoid controversy regarding his work at Justice and in hopes of reaching a resolution with the Rose Law Firm. In December 1994 Hubbell pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of tax fraud and on June 28, 1995, Judge George Howard sentenced Hubbell to 21 months' imprisonment. As a convicted felon, Hubbell entered [[Federal Correctional Institution, Cumberland]] in August 1995, and was released from a halfway house in February 1997.<ref name = "specialcounsel">{{cite news
