Holder says the nation is facing "critical times" when it comes to the lack of trust that exists between some communities and law enforcement, and that the solution is confronting the issue and both sides need to understand each other. The meeting is part of an effort launched by President Barack Obama after clashes between protesters and police in Ferguson, Missouri.(AP Photo/M. Spencer Green)

Federal investigators who pursued fraud charges against a Chicago couple were not biased against African-Americans, Attorney General Eric Holder told me Friday as he for the first time addressed allegations made last week by President Barack Obamas friend Eric Whitaker.

I have no evidence that theres a basis to that claim, Holder told me.

Whitakers claim of racial bias was jarring as I read the stories from my colleague Chris Fusco, who covered the federal case involving Whitaker in Springfield about no-bid contracts and schemes to siphon state money for personal use. Whitaker was not accused of any wrongdoing but figured as a witness in the case against Leon Dingle Jr., 77, and Dingles wife, Karin Dingle, 75.

Whitaker was taking aim at a Justice Department led for the first time by an African-American Holder in the administration of his pal, the first African-American president.

Whitaker and his wife, Cheryl, are not only friends of Obama and first lady Michelle, but they also know Holder and his wife, Sharon Malone.

Holder and the Whitakers were among the guests at Michelle Obamas 50th birthday party at the White House in January. And in June 2012, along with the first couple, they were all at the wedding of the daughter of White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett, in the yard of Jarretts mothers Kenwood home.

Senior Liberal Democrat MP backs Yearsley Pool campaign

Fiona Evans, Leader of Yearsley Pool Action Group, Sir Malcolm Bruce MP, Deputy Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Councillor Keith Aspden, Leader of York Liberal Democrats and members of Yearlsey Pool Action Group meet at Yearsley Pool

A SENIOR Liberal Democrat MP has added his voice to calls to protect Yearsley Pool, on a visit to the city.

Sir Malcolm Bruce is the party's deputy leader and MP for Gordon, in North East Scotland, and was in York on Friday.

He met some of the action group fighting to secure the future of the hundred year old pool.

Sir Malcolm said: "I can see you have a very committed action group here, who have been working for a long time to secure its future. This is a beautiful pool, and I hear it is in very good nick, and building a modern equivalent would cost around 30 million."

He also spoke of the potential to increase revenues at the pool by using some of the vacant development land around the site, owned by Nestle, to create other facilities like a gym, saying that as the holders of the Rowntree's impressive legacy in York the company would want to help preserve the pool.

He added: "I would hope that all the parties would work together."

The party's group leader on City of York Council Keith Aspden said that while they were not arguing for the whole 250,000 annual subsidy to be reinstated, they wanted to find other ways of cutting running costs, or increasing revenue, so the pool could continue.

On Thursday night, action group leader Fiona Evans presented a petition to the city council with more than 6500 signatures pleading with the council not to slash its entire 250,000 support for the pool.

She said the public who support their campaign "grasped not only the historical significance of Yearsley Pool and its benefits to sport and community fitness, but also the vital role this large pool plays in safeguarding the water safety of our children, especially in a city with two rivers.
