COURT ORDERS TESTIMONY OF PODESTA AND APUZZO IN E-MAIL MATTER




(Washington, DC) This afternoon, the Honorable Royce C. Lamberth, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, entered the following Order:
    When the Court recessed the evidentiary hearing on September 1, it took under advisement the Plaintiffs’ request for the testimony of two additional witnesses – former Assistant to the President Virginia Apuzzo, and White House Chief of Staff John Podesta. Plaintiffs’ request for their testimony is hereby GRANTED.

    The Court accepts the offer of assistance of counsel for defendants in making appropriate arrangements, and the Court will endeavor – consistent with its on-going criminal trial – to set a schedule for this testimony that is convenient to the witnesses as well as counsel.

    SO ORDERED.
“Podesta’s and Apuzzo’s testimony is absolutely necessary because they have relevant information about the coverup of the hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of missing e-mail concerning Filegate and other Clinton-Gore scandals,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.

“Indeed, a memorandum of June 19, 1998 shows that they were intimately involved,” added Klayman.
