The Whitewater controversy was a political scandal that involved Bill and Hillary Clinton, as well as their associates Jim McDougal and Susan McDougal in the Whitewater Development Corporation. It involved a financial investment that the Clintons had made into the corporation. Eventually, the case resulted in convictions against the McDougals, as well as Jim Guy Tucker, Bill Clinton's successor as governor. However, neither Bill nor Hillary Clinton were prosecuted, as there was insufficient evidence to link them with the criminal conduct of others.
