Hillary Moneyman Secretly Taped
A relative of an "extremely well-known" Democrat is set to testify in the upcoming trial of Hillary Clinton's former finance chairman David Rosen.
This "well-known" Democrat secretly tape-recorded Rosen in a bid to get incriminating evidence about an August 2000 Hollywood fund-raiser for Hillary Clinton and her Senate campaign.
Court documents obtained by the New York Sun say that while the informant's identity is being kept secret, "The CW [confidential witness] is related to an extremely prominent and well-known political figure. It can be expected that the fact that CW was working in an undercover capacity for the FBI will become the subject of intense media attention."
Mr. Rosen, who pleaded not guilty in February to a four-count indictment based on allegations that he filed false reports about the Clinton fund-raiser, is scheduled to go on trial in Los Angeles on May 3.
FBI agent David Smith - who's been handling the Clinton case since its inception - said the mystery informant began cooperating in July 2002.
Papers obtained by the Sun reveal that the bombshell witness is a Democrat insider.
"The CW states that s/he is active in fundraising for the Democratic Party. CW assisted in the U.S. Senate campaign of Hillary Clinton. S/he was involved in the planning of the Clinton Gala," agent Smith wrote in January 2003.
The court documents offer no clue as to whether the confidential witness also tried to wiretap Mrs. Clinton.
Witness: FBI Sought Hillary Tap
However another key witness in the case, Hollywood fund-raiser Aaron Tonken, says in his book "King of Cons" that he agreed to try to tape the former first lady's phone calls at agent Smith's request.
But by the time of Smith's request, said Tonken, team Clinton was aware he was part of the investigation into the August 2000 event and avoided taking his calls.
A source familiar with the case told the Sun that the confidential witness is not related to either Bill or Hillary Clinton.
Does anyone want to venture a good guess on who this might be?
