There's got to be alot behind all of this.......... David Goldman Chernomyrdin to sue George W. Bush Friday, 27 October 2000 0:59 (ET) Chernomyrdin to sue George W. Bush MOSCOW, Oct. 26 (UPI) -- Former Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin, accused by U.S. Republican presidential candidate Gov. George W. Bush of pocketing IMF loans to Russia, intends to take the matter to court, his aides said Thursday. Chernomyrdin had dismissed the allegations and demanded a formal apology from Bush, who made the damaging statement during a televised debate on Oct. 11 with Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Al Gore. Chernomyrdin said he intends to take the matter to court to clear his name and business reputation. Aides to the ex-premier said Chernomyrdin was consulting lawyers and will press legal action, regardless of the outcome of the Nov. 7 U.S. presidential election. The ex-premier's aides said Chernomyrdin had written to Russia's Prosecutor General regarding the allegations, which threaten to turn into a diplomatic headache between Moscow and Washington. -------------------------- eGroups Sponsor -------------------------~-~> <FONT COLOR="#000099">eGroups eLerts It's Easy.
