NEW YORK (Court TV) The defense of the president continues with two more presentations from the Clinton team.
GREG CRAIG As special counsel and a relatively recent addition to Clinton's team, Craig ventured into the spotlight as one of Clinton's defenders during the House Judiciary impeachment hearings. He coordinates the president's impeachment defense inside the White House and is the lead spokesman on the issue.
Previously, he worked for the State Department as special coordinator overseeing U.S. policy toward Tibet. He also was an aide to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., and helped represent John Hinckley Jr. after Hinckley attempted to assassinate President Reagan in 1981. Craig is a former law partner of Clinton attorney David Kendall. He is a graduate of Harvard University and Yale Law School.
CHERYL MILLS Mills, a deputy White House counsel, is one of the architects of the president's damage-control strategy. She allegedly alerted Bruce Lindsey of Internet reporter Matt Drudge's article that said Newsweek was preparing a story about a relationship between Clinton and a woman in the White House.
She graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Virginia in 1987. While attending Stanford Law School, Mills co-founded DCWorks, a non-profit organization that provides academic enrichment to underprivileged high schools students of color. After graduating from Stanford, Mills worked at the law firm of Hogan & Hartson, specializing in civil rights and education litigation. In 1992, she joined the Clinton/Gore campaign and went on to serve as associate counsel to the President.
