WASHINGTON — Investigative reporter Christoher Ruddy — a controversial figure in the White House for his reports on the strange deaths of Vincent Foster and Commerce Secretary Ron Brown — had a chance encounter with President Clinton in Washington Wednesday.

Clinton was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping near Union Station. Ruddy was on his way home to New York after meeting with a source in Washington. As Clinton’s entourage passed by, Ruddy said: “Mr. President! Any plans to investigate the death of Ron Brown?”

Ruddy reported the president glared at him menacingly and continued walking.

As early as 1994, according to memos released to congressional investigators, the Clinton White House counsel’s office targeted Ruddy and Joseph Farah’s Western Journalism Center, which has supported Ruddy’s work. Later, Ruddy, Farah and the center were also a major focus of the 331-page White House report alleging that a right-wing media conspiracy was behind all of the Clinton scandals.
