D.C. Circuit Sets Oral Argument for 9:30 a.m. Thursday, May 18, 2000 Place: DC Federal Courthouse Court of Appeals Courtroom -- 5th Floor Third and Constitution Ave., N.W. Washington, DC Time: 9:30 a.m. PRESS CONFERENCE TO FOLLOW ON COURTHOUSE STEPS (Washington, D.C.) In an unprecedented display of non-meritorious appellate practice, the Clinton-Gore Administration is attempting an appeal on a discovery order which made a required finding that the crime-fraud exception applied to communications between the President and his advisors over the illegal release of documents from Kathleen Willey's government file. The ruling was issued in the context of the Filegate civil litigation that Judicial Watch is prosecuting on behalf of those Republicans and others whose FBI files were illegally obtained and misused by the Clinton-Gore White House. The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has set an oral argument for tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. in the Federal Court House at Third and Constitution Avenue, N.W. The oral argument is open to the public and media. Presenting the oral argument for the plaintiffs, the individuals who were harmed by breaches of privacy by the Clinton-Gore White House, will be Larry Klayman, Chairman and General Counsel of Judicial Watch. |
