Gennifer Flowers follows suit

Just one day after Juanita Broaddrick took her first legal action
against President Clinton, Gennifer Flowers has sued for access to files
that she believes have been maintained by the White House and accessed
by administration employees in order to defame her.

Flowers' new lawsuit, filed by Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry
Klayman, follows her November federal defamation suit against former
presidential advisors James Carville and George Stephanopoulos.

Her most recent action claims the Executive Office of the President and
the Justice Department maintain confidential records on individuals such
as Flowers "who are perceived as critics or adversaries of Bill and
Hillary Clinton and/or the Clinton administration."

Gail Sheehy, in her book "Hillary's Choice,"
states that Mrs. Clinton threatened to "crucify" Gennifer Flowers by
digging up dirt and using it against her.

Klayman says such actions are not taken lightly by his government
watchdog organization.

"The Clinton administration is a master at destroying people's lives,
and it must be held fully accountable under the law. As the president
plans to set up a 'policy think tank' at his Arkansas library and
reportedly make millions of dollars in speaking engagements, his
administration must not be allowed to get off scot-free, no matter how
long it takes to bring about justice," stated Klayman, who represents
both Flowers and Broaddrick.

"Otherwise, a terrible signal will be sent to future presidents, first
ladies and public officials that they can do whatever they want in
violating the public trust and harming American citizens, and go off to
live happy and prosperous lives at the expense of everyone they have
destroyed," he continued.

While Clinton's attorney called Broaddrick's accusations of unlawful
dissemination of information about her "absolutely false," there has
been no comment from the White House regarding Flowers' allegations.

Broaddrick attempted to access any files related to her through the
Privacy Act, but was given the cold shoulder by Associate White House
Counsel Meredith E. Cabe, whose written response indicated the Privacy
Act applies "only to records maintained by 'agencies' within the
Executive Branch."

The letter further suggested that even "if such files exist,"
Broaddrick, and presumably Flowers, would not be legally entitled to
view them.

Klayman disagrees with the White House counsel's interpretation, and is
seeking a ruling from the U.S. District Court in Nevada on Flowers'
case.

Gennifer Flowers is no stranger to presidential scandal. She became a
household name during the 1992 presidential election, when she accused
then-candidate Clinton of having a 12-year affair with her during his
term as governor of Arkansas. Clinton repeatedly denied the charges --
until he was forced to disclose the relationship during his deposition
in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case in 1998.
