By: Maggie HabermanNY Post - Bill Clinton voiced "support" for a controversial Colombia free- trade pact that his wife has fiercely opposed - and he accepted $800,000 in speaking fees from a group boosting the agreement, it was revealed yesterday. The news came just two days after Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton pushed her chief strategist, Mark Penn, from his post after he embarrassed the campaign by consulting with Colombia government officials over the trade deal. In June 2005, Bill Clinton, who holds enormous sway as an ad viser to his wife, was quoted by the Spanish-language news portal Terra as publicly backing the trade pact at an appearance with Colombia President Alvaro Uribe. "I will raise your point when you return to the United States," Clinton said, according to a trans lation by Politico.com. "I am in favor of the free-trade agreement and it is my hope that we will find the right formula to reach the agreement." The same month, Bill Clinton reaped the six-figure windfall from the Colombia-based development group Gold Service International - a booster of the trade agreement - for four speeches. Andres Franco, the GSI chief operating officer, told the Huffington Post Web site that the ex-president "was supportive of the trade agreement at the time" of his speaking tour. Sen. Clinton's spokesman Jay Carson said the candidate is a "clear and firm opponent," and said the former president has publicly backed a Colombia free-trade deal since 2000.
