Where: Steps of U.S. Courthouse 3rd and Constitution Ave,

Who: Kathleen Willey Schwicker and Counsel
(Washington,
D.C.)
Kathleen Willey Schwicker, the woman who was assaulted by President
Bill Clinton in the Oval Office pantry, and who was and remains
a material witness in the on-going Lewinsky grand jury proceeding
of the Office of Independent Counsel, has filed a complaint for
violation of privacy and civil rights, as well as other claims.
The lawsuit, filed yesterday in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Columbia, comes on the heels of a finding by the Honorable
Royce C. Lamberth in companion litigation over another Clinton-Gore
Administration scandal, Filegate, that the President, with the
aid of others in The White House, had committed a criminal violation
of the Privacy Act in releasing documents from Kathleen Willey
Schwicker's government files to smear and harm her reputation
and credibility.
The
complaint, which was filed by the public interest law firm Judicial
Watch on Kathleen Willey Schwicker's behalf, speaks for itself,
and can be found on Judicial Watch's Internet site at www.judicialwatch.org.
It details her long ordeal to simply testify truthfully in the
on-going Lewinsky and other Clinton-Gore Administration scandals,
free from threats, intimidation and coercion, and personal injury.
At a press
conference to be held at 12:30 p.m. on the steps of the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia (3rd & Constitution Ave., NW),
Kathleen Willey Schwicker will deliver a statement about this
case.
