CLINTON WHISTLEBLOWER PETER F. PAUL SUES BILL AND HILLARY CLINTON FOR FRAUD, CONSPIRACY, UNJUST ENRICHMENT
California Lawsuit Over Post-White House Business Relationship That Never Materialized
Federal Government: “We’re Very Much Interested” in Pursuing Campaign Fundraising Violations by Hillary’s Senate Campaign
(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates public corruption, announced today that it filed a lawsuit against Bill and Hillary Clinton, among others, on behalf of Peter F. Paul, the Hollywood entrepreneur who underwrote and produced the August 12, 2000 “Hollywood Tribute to Bill Clinton,” a gala fundraiser that yielded $1.5 million in “hard money” contributions to Mrs. Clinton’s U.S. Senate campaign. Mr. Paul spent over $2 million on the event as part of a post-White House employment package for the former President. The lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on October 14, 2003, alleges:
The President, through an intermediary, agreed to work for Mr. Paul’s companies after leaving office in exchange for a compensation package worth over $15 million, including Mr. Paul’s funding of the Hollywood Tribute. No post-White House business relationship ever materialized.
Mrs. Clinton, through campaign officials, repeatedly promised Mr. Paul that the monies he spent on the event would be allocated and reported to federal election authorities in a lawful and proper way, but, to date, the campaign has failed to do so.
After denying to The Washington Post that Mrs. Clinton did not and would not accept any contributions from Mr. Paul, Mrs. Clinton’s campaign coerced Mr. Paul into making an additional $55,000 contribution (also never reported) to a political party in New York on Mrs. Clinton’s behalf.
The President and Mrs. Clinton, through intermediaries, coerced Mr. Paul into remaining silent about his contributions by threatening that the post-White House business relationship with the President would not materialize if Mr. Paul contradicted the public denials issued by the campaign.
Mr. Paul has substantial, documentary evidence detailing his close relationship with the Clintons and his funding of the Hollywood tribute, including cancelled checks, hand-written thank you notes from the Clintons, and photographs. Also named in the complaint is Clinton fundraiser David Rosen, Clinton friend James Levin, and Hollywood celebrity fundraiser Aaron Tonken, who currently is under criminal investigation for his role in other Hollywood fundraisers. As a result of Mr. Paul’s disclosures, federal authorities have launched an investigation into the Clintons and other matters. Mr. Paul, who is facing alleged (and related) stock and bank fraud charges, remains eager to cooperate with federal authorities.
“This lawsuit aims to hold the Clinton’s accountable for their fraud and deceit, which netted them over $2 million and help elect Hillary to the Senate. Mr. Paul looks forward to holding the Clinton’s accountable,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
