In an interview with National Review Online editor Kathryn Lopez, Edward Klein, author of a new attack book on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY), lied when he stated that "[l]ike Nixon, Hillary has used FBI files against her enemies." This new lie from Klein is likely a reference to allegations that the Clinton White House improperly collected FBI files on a number of Republicans. But the Office of the Independent Counsel investigated these allegations and “concluded that no senior White House official, or Mrs. Clinton, was involved in obtaining FBI background reports.”

During the interview, Klein also stated that "[l]ike Nixon, Hillary has a penchant for doing illegal things." But Clinton has never been charged with, much less convicted of, any crime.

These are only the latest of Klein's falsehoods about Clinton. As Media Matters for America has documented, Klein's attack book, The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President (Sentinel, June 2005) is filled with numerous lies and misrepresentations.
