Interim Report Evidence of Additional Perjury By Clinton Pursued And Verified by Hyde Investigators Nearly 4,000 Pages of Supporting Evidence Available Clinton "Pattern" of Intimidation Should Be Raised in Senate Trial Judicial Watch announced today that it would deliver this week a copy of its Interim Report to each member of the United States Senate. The Interim Report's nearly 4,000 pages of supporting evidence is already available to each Senator through the House Judiciary Committee. The Report outlines impeachable offenses by President Clinton related to Filegate, Chinagate, IRS-Gate, and Trustgate (the Clintons' illegal defense trust funds). The Report's evidence relating to Presidential perjury about Dolly Kyle Browning, a former paramour of Clinton's, was confirmed by Chairman Hyde's chief investigator David Schippers and his staff. The Report is part of the official record of the House Judiciary Committee and will be supplemented with additional evidence on Filegate and Travelgate uncovered by Judicial Watch in just the past few weeks. "The Senate cannot look the other way. It has a constitutional and moral obligation to consider the entire Clinton pattern of conduct of intimidation of witnesses and obstruction of justice," stated Larry Klayman, Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel. "The rules of evidence allow other witnesses and evidence to be introduced in the Senate trial that would confirm a 'pattern of conduct' that would help prove the specific allegations in the impeachment articles. "In addition, if the President used government files to intimidate witnesses and investigators in the Lewinsky scandal, then that's relevant. If the President threatened and defamed other witnesses in the Jones matter, then that's relevant as part of an aggravated pattern of conduct. If the President lied in other scandals such as Chinagate, then that's relevant." Klayman concluded, "Many U.S. Senators would love to give Clinton a pass on perjury and obstruction of justice. The Judicial Watch Interim Report will make it harder to do so." The complete text of the Interim Report plus its nearly 4,000 pages of supporting evidence are available at the Judicial Watch web site, http://www.judicialwatch.org. |
