Steiner came into national news as a result of the Whitewater investigations where he testified before Congress on the contacts between the Treasury and the Clinton White House.[6] He testified before the Senate Banking Committee on August 2, 1994 claiming that he had made "misrepresentations" in his own diary.[7] He was quickly branded as "the kid who lied to his own diary" as his testimony was largely seen as an attempt to cover for the Clinton White House.[8]
