Court's Finding that President Clinton Committed a Crime Represents a First in American History

No Prior President Ever Found to Have Committed a Crime


(Washington, D.C.) The finding of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that President Bill Clinton committed a crime in violating the privacy rights of Kathleen Willey, will go down as a first in American history. The landmark decision by the Court surpasses the decision by Judge Susan Webber Wright, who never found criminal wrongdoing by the president in Paula Jones' lawsuit. Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman says the criminal ruling bolsters Judicial Watch's $90 million class action lawsuit on Filegate by showing a pattern of similar misconduct. "It raises an evidentiary inference that Filegate really occurred," Klayman said today.
