In addition to planning prosecution efforts against organized-crime figures, Mr. Margolis took part in cases involving foreign dictators and the Abscam trials of bribe-taking congressmen. He later investigated controversies surrounding the death of deputy White House counsel Vincent W. Foster Jr., accusations of torture during the George W. Bush administration and the leaking of the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame.

“We would give all the hairballs to [Margolis], all the hardest, most difficult problems, the most politically controversial,” FBI Director James B. Comey, a former deputy attorney general, told The Washington Post last year.

In 1993, after Foster died in an apparent suicide, Mr. Margolis was one of two lawyers from the Justice Department assigned to examine Foster’s White House office for any evidence of a suicide note or possible extortion. Once he got there, Mr. Margolis later testified, he was kept at arm’s length by White House counsel Bernard Nussbaum, who decided what the Justice Department lawyers were allowed to see.

 

Two years later, in politically charged hearings, Mr. Margolis told a Senate panel that he was prevented from doing his job by Nussbaum.

 

It took the White House six days to produce the torn pieces of paper that proved to be Foster’s suicide note. Mr. Margolis told the Senate panel that if he had been permitted to conduct a proper search, “I’d either have found it or I’d be out on my tail.”
