President rejects settlement with Jones in harassment case
President Clinton rejected a $2 million settlement offer from Paula Jones, leaving her lawyers scrambling for a new proposal ahead of Tuesday oral arguments before the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St Paul. Jones sought $1 million from the president and $1 million from Abe Hirschfeld to drop the lawsuit. Bennett rejected the idea, citing cost and indebtedness to Hirschfeld, who faces a 123 count tax evasion indictment.
