JUDICIAL WATCH CALLS ON SENATE TO INVESTIGATE AND DICIPLINE HILLARY CLINTON FOR CAMPAIGN FINANCE FRAUD
JW Files Ethics Complaint Against Clinton with U.S. Senate
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch, the public interest group that fights government corruption, announced today that it has filed an ethics complaint with the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Ethics against Hillary Rodham Clinton for her role in a campaign finance scandal that led to the indictment of her Director of Finance, David Rosen. Rosen is expected to go to trial on May 10 for causing false campaign finance reports to be filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), and could be forced to serve 20 years in prison and up to $1 million in fines.
Judicial Watch’s ethics complaint relates to a $2 million contribution made to Senator Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign by former Judicial Watch client Peter Paul in the form of a “Hollywood Tribute to William Jefferson Clinton.” Contrary to promises made by Mrs. Clinton’s campaign, Mr. Paul’s contribution was never properly reported to the FEC, or in filings lodged with the Secretary of the Senate. The Justice Department has evidence proving Senator Clinton was personally complicit in the scheme, and had full knowledge of the costs associated with the event. Yet, investigative authorities and members of the Senate have thus far failed to hold her to account.
Judicial Watch, working with Peter Paul, cooperated with the Justice Department in its investigation of the campaign finance scandal, which ultimately led to the indictment of Rosen. The FEC has also launched an investigation of Hillary Clinton and her campaign for multiple allegations of wrongdoing.
“Judicial Watch respectfully submits that Senator Clinton should be investigated and disciplined for violating federal campaign finance reporting laws in connection with an August 12, 2000 fundraiser for her U.S. Senate campaign and for engaging in conduct that reflects unfavorably on the Senate as a whole,” Judicial Watch argued in its complaint. “At all relevant times, Senator Clinton and her campaign knew and understood that Mr. Paul was spending well over $1 million, not including substantial amounts of Mr. Paul’s own time and resources on the Hollywood Tribute.”
Judicial Watch is calling for Hillary Clinton to be given at least the same investigative attention as House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who was admonished three times in 2004 by the House Ethics Committee.
“Hillary Clinton’s campaign finance scandal is just as serious as the allegations brought against Tom DeLay,” noted JW President Tom Fitton. “And yet, while DeLay has faced an ethics firestorm, Hillary Clinton’s legal and ethical transgressions have been largely ignored. The U.S. Senate must finally enforce its ethics rules.”
