In December 1994, Hubbell pleaded guilty to federal charges in connection with his billings at the Rose Law Firm, a firm with partners that once included Hillary Clinton and Vince Foster. Hubbell admitted he had overbilled some of his former clients and on June 28, 1995, Judge George Howard sentenced Hubbell to 21 months' imprisonment.
