BETH NOLAN ORDERED TO TESTIFY IN E-MAIL SCANDAL TODAY

DATE: Thursday, November 2, 2000

TIME: 10:00 a.m.

PLACE: U.S. Federal Courthouse
Third and Constitution Avenue, NW

COURTROOM: 21, Fourth Floor

(Washington, DC) The Honorable Royce C. Lamberth ordered White House Counsel Beth Nolan to testify today about new revelations that the e-mail scandal is much larger than originally thought. Previously, it was believed, that the scandal was limited only to incoming e-mail to the Clinton-Gore White House. It has now been revealed that internal e-mail has been affected as well. This new discovery obviously means that documents likely exist, in much larger quantities, detailing all of the Clinton-Gore scandals from 1993 forward. Judicial Watch is pursuing this issue in the context of its $90-million Filegate class action lawsuit.

Miss Nolan is scheduled to testify at 10:00 a.m. today. Testimony by White House whistleblower Sheryl Hall establishes that Ms. Peterson had told Ms. Hall that the White House strategy was to delay producing documents to the Court until after Bill and Hillary Clinton left office. Ms. Peterson is also subject to referral to the Court by the Independent Counsel over false testimony.

A press conference will be held on the Courthouse steps following the hearing. All members of the media and public are invited to attend.
