Hubbell served on the Resolution Trust Corporation during its takeover of the Madison Savings Corporation and Loan, owned by Whitewater partner James McDougal and previously represented by Hubbell. Hubbell failed to inform the RTC of the potential conflict.<ref>Davidson, Joe, "Hubbell Resigns Key Justice Post in Surprise Move," Wall Street Journal, March 15, 1994 </ref>
Unofficially, Hubbell was the second victim of Whitewater, following White House counsel Bernard Nussbaum's forced resignation for questionable meetings with federal regulators looking into the Whitewater Development Corporation real-estate investments. Nussbaum had been responsible for removing Whitewater files and Foster's diary from the office of White House aide Vincent Foster less than three hours after Foster's death from a gunshot wound. He was accompanied on that visit by Patsy Thomasson.
Foster's last weekend had been spent in the company of Webster Hubbell, his wife and another couple, White House counsel Michael Cardozo and his wife. Hubbell joined the group in Maryland after leaving the meeting that informed William Sessions of his dismissal as FBI director. After returning from a Hawaiian vacation, Bill Clinton spent that weekend in Arkansas dining with David Edwards, a former Stephens Inc. employee and conduit for $23 million from the king of Saudi Arabia for the Middle Easter studies program at the University of Arkansas. Clinton had one last twenty minute conversation with Foster the Monday night before his death.<ref>"The Foster Death," Washington Post, January 14, 1994 </ref> Oddly, one of Foster's last phone conversations on the morning of his death was with Brantley Buck, the Rose Law Firm partner assigned to investigate Webster Hubbell and POM.<ref>Isikoff, Michael, "Conspiracy Theorists Find Foster Case Hard To Resist," Washington Post, March 13, 1994. </ref>
