RadioOnFire.com - Bill Clinton is facing a whole new set of sexual assault charges from four women according to highly placed Democratic Party sources and an official who served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations.
The current accusations against the 71-year-old former president stem from the period after he left the White House in 2001, says the sources. The women are coordinating their efforts but their attorneys notified Clinton that they plan to file four separate lawsuits against him. As part of the ongoing negotiations, the attorneys for the women are asking for substantial payouts in return for their clients' silence on the details of their allegations. A member of Clinton's legal team has confirmed the existence of the new accusations.
Clinton's past is littered with allegations of sexual misconduct. Back in the late 1990s, he paid $850,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit by Paula Jones, a former Arkansas state employee whose case led to Clinton's impeachment in the House of Representatives and his subsequent acquittal by the Senate in 1999.
The new allegations refer to incidents that took place more than 10 years ago, in the early 2000s, when Clinton was hired by Ron Burkle, the playboy billionaire investor, to work at his Yucaipa companies. Clinton helped Burkle generate business and flew around the world with a flock of beautiful young women on Burkle's private jet, which was nicknamed 'Air F--k One.' The four women, who remain anonymous, were employed in low-level positions at the Burkle organization when they were in their late teens and claim they were sexually assaulted by the former president. There is no evidence that Burkle knew anything about these alleged assaults.
The negotiations in the new lawsuits have now reportedly reached a critical stage. If they fail, the four women are ready to air their accusations of sexual assault at a press conference, according to sources in Clinton's inner circle. The revelations make Clinton the latest figure in a growing list of men in Hollywood and politics who have recently been accused of sexual assault, starting with Harvey Weinstein and going to Roy Moore.
When contacted for a comment by the Daily Mail on the women's allegations, a member of Clinton's legal team said: 'Obviously, I'm aware of [the allegations] but can't talk about them.'
"Bill is distraught at the thought of having to testify and defend himself against sex charges again," said a Democratic Party official who is familiar with the case. "He hopes his legal team can somehow stop the women from filing charges and drag him through the mud."
The source added that Hillary Clinton is furious with her husband for getting entangled in yet another sex scandal. She reportedly offered to hire private detectives to dig up dirt on the women like she's successfully done in the past, but Bill Clinton's attorneys persuaded her not to interfere. The source added that Hillary has been able to silence many women in Little Rock who had complaints about Bill's unwanted sexual advances, but things are different now and women are more willing to speak up. The two reportedly haven't lived together as man and wife for years due to Bill's inability to be faithful and it's now more of a business relationship.
The new charges are likely to revive the debate over why Democrats defended Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal and why liberals and feminists ignored credible charges of sexual assault against the 42nd president, not only from Paula Jones, but also from Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, and others.
