The top Democrat came to Rosen's defense the same day prosecutors revealed that Sen. Ted Kennedy's brother-in-law Ray Reggie secretly taped Rosen on several occasions making "incriminating statements."

Reggie, who was cooperating with investigators as part of his plea bargain on bank fraud charges, wore a wire for three years as he arranged fund-raisers for top Democrats, including the Clintons.

Party insiders were thought to be most concerned about Reggie's June 2000 overnight visit to the White House, where he reportedly stayed up late into the night "chatting" with the former first couple.

The New York Post reported Saturday that Reggie never taped Mr. or Mrs. Clinton, though he had ample opportunity to do so, with the paper citing unnamed sources for the assertion.

The claim doesn't comport with the account of another key witness in the case, Hollywood celebrity fund-raiser Aaron Tonken, who said the same FBI agent who wired Mr. Reggie – David Smith – asked him to tape Hillary Clinton's phone calls.

Tonken spent copious amounts of time with the Clintons, helping to arrange an August 2000 fund-raiser with Mr. Rosen and visiting the White House seven times during the last three months of the Clinton administration.

Tonken agreed to the taping, but by then team Clinton learned he was talking to the FBI and refused to take his calls.
