Ex-Bush official backs Clinton for president
By Mark Hensch
Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is backing Hilary Clinton over Donald Trump for the White House.
Chertoff's support for Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, is notable not only because of his work for President George W. Bush's administration but because he was a Republican prosecutor who led the congressional investigation into the Whitewater controversy involving the Clintons' real estate investments.
“I realized we spent a huge amount of time in the '90s on issues that were much less important than what was brewing in terms of terrorism,” said Chertoff, who served as the lead GOP counsel on the Senate Whitewater Committee, during an interview with Bloomberg published Monday.
“[Clinton] has good judgment and a strategic vision of how to deal with the threats that face us,” he said.
