I'm not sure the role this guy played in the administration of the Impeached One, but I recall an article in Spy magazine about him, in early 1993.

For whatever reasons, in the inaugural parade on January 20, 1993, he had a motor vehicle bigger and flashier and more ostentatious than the presidential vehicle, for which Spy commendably mocked him.
