Filegate Eyewitness Has Indicated High-Level White House Involvement in Filegate Judicial Watch Will Depose Tripp in Filegate Civil Lawsuit Today, a federal court judge unstayed the deposition of Linda Tripp in the Judicial Watch Filegate civil lawsuit. Judicial Watch is pursuing a $90 million class-action lawsuit against the Clinton White House, the FBI, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bernard Nussbaum, Craig Livingstone, and Anthony Marceca over the Filegate scandal. Judicial Watch represents those staffers from the Reagan and Bush administration and others whose FBI files were wrongly taken and misused by the Clinton White House. Tripp worked in the Clinton White House Counsel's office at the time many of the FBI files at issue were taken. Judicial Watch understands that Linda Tripp is prepared to testify that she saw former Associate White House Counsel William Kennedy, Mrs. Clinton's Rose Law Firm partner, using Republican FBI files. According to Lucianne Goldberg and other sources, Tripp also has information about FBI files being loaded into encrypted computers and copied in the White House counsel's office, raising the likelihood that information from Republican FBI files is still at the Clinton White House. When Kennedy was questioned about whether he had the FBI files of Republicans stacked in his office, he literally choked before making a carefully-worded denial. "Linda Tripp apparently has important testimony to offer about Filegate and related issues," said Larry Klayman, Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel. "We look forward to taking her sworn testimony on Filegate - perhaps the most serious of all the Clinton scandals." |
