Clintons Sued in L.A. Over Campaign Donations
Hollywood producer Peter Paul has sued former President Bill Clinton, and U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, contending the former first couple got him in trouble with federal authorities by failing to report his $2 million in-kind contributions to her Senate campaign.
Judicial Watch, which has sued the Clintons several times over alleged campaign finance violations, filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of Paul, who is in a federal detention facility in New York after being extradited from Brazil last month to face federal fraud charges.
In December 2001, a Los Angeles judge dismissed a similar lawsuit in which Paul sought damages and the return of stocks and cash he had pledged to Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Representatives for the former president and the senator could not immediately be reached for comment.
Peter Paul, hopefully, has learned a valuable lesson – - if you’re gonna play with fire – - you should expect to get burnt. You just can’t get into the same arena as the Clintons and not expect any shady dealings.
