Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign faced damaging allegations yesterday from one of the women who claim to have been groped by former president Bill.
Kathleen Willey suggests in a new book that the former First Couple could have been involved in her husband Ed's death.
Willey, a former White House aide, alleges a campaign of slander and intimidation has been waged against her by Hillary since she made the sex assault allegations.
Her book "Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton" details what she says are the threats made against her by the Clintons and their allies.
The most damaging allegation concerns the apparent suicide of her husband Ed in 1993.
He died from a gunshot wound to the head on the day Willey claimed she was sexually assaulted by Clinton in the Oval Office.
Willey insists her husband's death was murder and not suicide.
In an interview published on a US news website to coincide with the book's publication she says she has "suspicions" the Clintons were involved.
Asked by a reporter from World Net Daily if the Clintons were involved in her husband's death she replied: "I do have my suspicions. Yes."
A spokesman for Mrs Clinton's Democratic campaign refused to make any comment last night on the allegations.
Willey also claims the Clintons were behind a burglary at her home in Virginia four months ago when she says thieves tried to steal the manuscript of the book after excerpts were serialised in a magazine.
Willey, 57, was working as a volunteer in the White House when she said Clinton assaulted her.
According to Willey, during a meeting in the private study off the Oval Office, Clinton embraced her, kissed her on the mouth and fondled her breast. She also claimed he placed her hand on his crotch.
Clinton denied ever assaulting Willey in the incident which allegedly took place five years before the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Willey never gave evidence to a Clinton's impeachment trial after some members of the House and Senate refused to allow her to testify.
On the same night the alleged assault took place in November 1993, Willey's husband Ed died from a single gunshot wound.
The Virginia lawyer was over £300,000 in debt and had embezzled money from a client.
He left a suicide note in which he apologised for running up the debts, and also a $100 lottery ticket for his wife.
Willey claims in her book that the autopsy on her husband failed to show it was suicide.
She says the coroner told her he died from a shot fired by a right-handed person, while her husband was left-handed.
Willey also claims her husband's death bore striking similarities to that of Vince Foster.
He was a deputy White House counsel and close friend of Hillary who committed suicide in 1993.
Willey says she wrote the book because of misunderstanding about what had happened. She said: "There is so much misinformation out there. I now have the opportunity to set the record straight."
Um, the Daily Mail is not easily confused with, say, the Wall Street Journal.
This will never see the light of day on the MSN.
Hillery's "I am woman" and Rudi's "Conservative leads the pack" are the headlines the masses will see.
Gag me.
Who killed Condit's girlfriend? I'm not sure they found her head...just parts...
Too bad she comes out sounding like a wacko.
She is believable when she can accurately report on what happened to her. But when she starts up with conspiracy theories that are hard to prove (and there might even be a sense of denial and unwillingness to accept that her husband just might have committed suicice) - then her message about being groped by a serial philanderer gets lost and becomes suspect.

Didn’t she recently claim that someone broke into her house and stole the transcript?
I thought she asked for a job and was turned down? when did Clinton hire her???
What do you think of what happened to Paula Jones?
Mrs. Clinton probably paid her to write the book.
Since the MSM will sit on the story, the GOP Nominee could have Willey in TV Commercials telling people all that the Clintons have done to her and her late husband.
She asked for a PAYING job. She was among the legions of Bubba’s volunteesr when she had the face-to-face and more meeting with him.
FOX News covered this, along with an implication that the Clintons abducted and killed her pet cat in an attempt to intimidate her.
The Clintons are the political equivalent of Murder Incorporated. The act more like a Mafia Family than an American political dynasty.
I’m surprised he ain’t on meghan’s list
This is exactly why we must unite behind the GOP winning nominee, no matter who he is.
I recall reading, many years ago, that the Stalinists prided themselves on being able to make a murder look like a suicide.

Publicly taxpayer funded no less.
Would be cheaper to incarcerate the rapist.
I believe Paula Jones initial claim; I believe that Paula Jones was propositioned by Gov. Bill Clinton, and that Clinton used the State Police to facilitate the "meeting" of women, and that he has a serious problem, and could be legitimately accused of an abuse of his powers (both as Governor and President.)
Unfortunately, Paula Jones also did some wacko things that helped the Clinton smear machine tarnish her reputation and reduce her credibility ...and thereby helping to protect the Clintons.
It's just too bad that there hasn't been a means of taking the power-hungry Power Couple down!!
