EVIDENCE PRESENTED TO THE COURT EARLIER THIS WEEK Misconduct Akin To Indian Trust Case (Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, Inc., the public interest law firm which fights government corruption, presented sworn evidence last Tuesday evening to the Court that The White House Counsel's Office, which is effectively run by Hillary Clinton, has employed a strategy of obstructing discovery in the $90 million Filegate class action lawsuit to get the Clintons beyond the next election. In a startling sworn declaration of December 7, 1999 (Pearl Harbor Day), Sheryl L. Hall, a former White House computer specialist who now is Judicial Watch's client - Mrs. Hall having defected when she refused to do illegal acts at The White House for Mrs. Clinton - swears that Ms. Michelle Peterson and other lawyers of The White House Counsel's Office told her "that �our strategy' for the Filegate lawsuit was to �stall' because �we had just a couple more years to go.'" This sworn declaration has been presented to Judge Royce Lamberth for him to exercise his discretion on how to proceed. Judicial Watch has pending a request to depose Hillary Clinton and to move the case forward into a trial posture. It is hoped that the case will be able to be tried next year. A copy of the Hall Declaration and supporting "Plaintiffs' Motion for Leave to Supplement the Record" is being posted, along with this press release, on the main page of Judicial Watch's website at www.JudicialWatch.org. | |
