Clinton's Entourage Accused of Shakedown Scam
Did ex-President Clinton's entourage try to shake down a local British
distillery for a $70,000 presidential endorsement fee during a
stopover
in Wales this weekend?
That's what Britain's respected Guardian newspaper claims in Monday's
editions.
"One cottage distiller claimed he was asked for £50,000 ($70,000
U.S.)
for a presidential endorsement of Danzy Jones Wysgi Licor, his 'old
style mellow' Welsh whisky liqueur," reports the Guardian.
Former art lecturer Ben Jones told the newspaper that he couldn't
believe his luck when a man organizing the president's trip to the
Hay-on-Wye books festival telephoned him three weeks ago, saying Mr
Clinton was "keen to drop in" on his farmyard distillery in
Abergavenny.
"He told me Mr Clinton likes to taste local produce where ever he
goes,
particularly whiskies," said Jones. Then came the pitch for cash:
"He told me that 'Of course you realize the ex-president has to earn
a
living, and that when they were talking to a distillery in Ireland a
figure of £50,000 was mentioned."
After Jones told Clinton's representative that he couldn't afford the
sky-high endorsement fee, he never heard from the ex-president or his
people again.
Clinton's spokespeople refused to deny the specific allegation
Sunday,
but insisted that he "only accepted honorariums for speaking
engagements".
Clinton collected $150,000 fee for a speech in Hay-on-Wye, Wales
Saturday night.
