Peter Paul, a former Clinton supporter and Hollywood fundraiser, served as the catalyst behind the January 2005 federal indictment of Rosen. Paul hosted a major Hollywood fundraising event in August 2000 for Clinton's Senate campaign and Rosen's federal indictments charge him with underreporting the costs associated with the event.

"There was a relationship that I had with the Clintons that extended over a period of a half-year," Paul told Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes on May 3.

Paul claimed that both Bill and Hillary Clinton "induced me not only to produce and underwrite her biggest [2000 campaign] fundraiser, but to continue to give them money after they told the public through The Washington Post they hardly knew me and they wouldn't take money." Paul has filed a civil suit against the Clinton campaign charging it with significantly underreporting the cost of the August 2000 Hollywood gala, an event that Paul claims to have spent nearly $2 million organizing.

Paul recently launched an anti-Clinton effort called the Hillary Clinton Accountability Project. Paul asks, "Did Hillary Clinton win her Senate seat through fraud?" on his website HILLCAP.org.

David Kendall, a lawyer for the Clintons, refuted Paul's accusations and his civil suit against the Clinton campaign.

"Peter Paul is a man with an impressive record of felony convictions," Kendall said, referring to Paul's guilty plea in March in New York federal court to securities fraud.

"Most of his civil suit has already been dismissed and the remainder has no merit," Kendall added.

Clinton's expected re-election campaign to the Senate has already mobilized her political opponents. As Cybercast News Service previously reported a new website intended to "shed light on the REAL Hillary Clinton and the danger she and her ideas pose for America" was launched last week. The Stop Her Now website is run by Arthur Finkelstein, a political activist who advises Republicans, and William Black, a political fundraiser from Virginia.

"We're out to expose her as a confirmed left-wing radical and life-long liberal who long ago sold her soul to the divisive, radical and ultra-liberal special interest groups who see everyone as 'victims' and want to use your tax dollars and the power of the state to make things right," the website says.
