:Four days before the crash FBI and [[IRS]] agents subpoenaed as many as 20 witnesses for a serious probe of  Brown in Washington. Dynamic Energy Resources gave Brown's son Michael $500,000 in stock, a $160,000 cash payment, and exclusive country club memberships. Former Dynamic president Stewart Price told a [[Tulsa]] [[grand jury]] that the money was to be routed to Ron Brown, who was expected to "fix" a big lawsuit for Dynamic. Radio station KTOK in Oklahoma reported it on March 28, 1996; the ''[[Washington Times]]'' made it a front-page story on March 29. But then a blackout was put on the story. The [[AP]] and ''[[New York Times]]'' wire services blocked any future release of the information. Brown wasn't going to take the rap, nor his wife and son either (both had received  hundreds of thousands in under-the-table payments themselves.) He was going to finger Bill and Hillary instead. That would have sunk Bill's [[United States presidential election, 1996|1996 reelection campaign]].<ref>https://books.google.com/books/about/Murder_in_the_First_Degree.html?id=f9LwHAAACAAJ</ref>
