Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, reported today that a federal court ruled that
Hillary Clinton can be sued for conspiracy by Gennifer Flowers. Clinton also was sued for defamation, though The Honorable Philip M. Pro ruled only
that a related conspiracy claim against Hillary Clinton could proceed. The lawsuit alleges that Hillary Clinton, along with co-defendants James
Carville and George Stephanopoulos, embarked on a smear campaign to destroy Ms. Flowers' reputation. This campaign included the publication of
falsehoods about Ms. Flowers in Stephanopoulos's recent book, All Too Human. Ms. Flowers alleges that Clinton and the other defendants conspired to
smear her with false accusations that Ms. Flowers “doctored” tape recordings of Bill Clinton and that she lied about her affair with him.
“Ms. Clinton is also a defendant personally in another Judicial Watch lawsuit over the misuse of FBI files by the Clinton White House. Through these
and other legal actions, Judicial Watch expects to hold Ms. Clinton accountable for her corruption,” added Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel
Larry Klayman.

WASHINGTON - A federal judge refused to release Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton from a lawsuit by Gennifer Flowers which accuses the senator of
masterminding a campaign to discredit Flowers' claim of an affair with Bill Clinton.
U.S. District Judge Philip Pro dismissed Flowers' defamation claim against Mrs. Clinton, but allowed a conspiracy allegation to proceed. Former
presidential aide George Stephanopoulos and campaign strategist James Carville also are being sued.
Judicial Watch, a conservative group representing Flowers, said Wednesday it will seek the senator's testimony in the case.
In 1992, a supermarket tabloid wrote that Bill Clinton and Flowers had an affair while he was Arkansas governor. When the presidential candidate
denied it, Flowers held a news conference to play audio tapes she said were of secretly recorded intimate phone calls between them.
Carville, now on CNN's "Crossfire," and Stephanopoulos, now an anchor on ABC's Sunday morning program "This Week," said that Flowers had
doctored the tapes. Stephanopoulos repeated that allegation in a book.
