JUDICIAL WATCH FILES FORMAL COMPLAINTS AGAINST
RICHARD PERLE, BILL CLINTON, TERRY MCAULIFFE AND WILLIAM COHEN OVER
THEIR ROLES IN GLOBAL CROSSING’S PENDING SALE
Senior Officials’ Apparent Conflicts of Interest Must Be
Thoroughly Investigated

(Washington, DC)
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and
prosecutes government corruption and abuse, said today that it has filed
formal complaints against Defense Advisory Board Member and former
Chairman Richard Perle, former President Bill Clinton, Democratic
National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe and former Clinton
administration Defense Secretary, and Global Crossing board member,
William S. Cohen, with the Department of Justice, the Office of
Government Ethics and the Inspectors General of the Defense Department
and the Department of Homeland Security. The formal complaint cites
apparent violations of government ethics regulations as well as federal
laws governing prohibited conflicts of financial interests.
Mr.
Perle served as Foreign Policy Advisor during the Presidential Campaign
of George W. Bush. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld subsequently
appointed Mr. Perle in 2001 as Chairman, Defense Policy Board - a
position that Mr. Perle occupied until March 27, 2003. Mr. Perle,
although no longer Chairman, remains an active Member of Defense Policy
Board. As an Advisor to Global Crossing, Mr. Perle’s fee, as outlined in
bankruptcy proceedings, is $725,000, including an unusual contingent
payment of $600,000 if Global Crossing succeeds in finally obtaining
approval of its sale to the Chinese Company, Hutchison Whampoa. In his
March 27, 2003 resignation letter as Board Chairman to Defense Secretary
Rumsfeld, Mr. Perle reportedly claimed that he would not accept
compensation from Global Crossing. Irrespective of Mr. Perle’s claims
and reported pledges concerning remuneration, Mr. Perle clearly served
the corporate interests of Global Crossing while simultaneously acting
as Chairman of the Defense Advisory Board. Global Crossing is slated for
sale to Hong Kong billionaire and communist Chinese agent Li Ka-Shing’s
Hutchison Whampoa Corporation – the shipping conglomerate that took
control of the Panama Canal in 1999.
Judicial Watch has also
launched an investigation of Mr. Perle’s advisory role with Loral Space
and Communications, concerning accusations that the firm improperly
transferred rocket technology to China, as reported in the March 28,
2003 New York Times article, “Adviser to U.S. Aided Maker of
Satellites.”
“There appears to be a lot of dirty fingerprints all
over this Global Crossing deal. Regardless of party affiliation, these
officials – both past and current -- need to be thoroughly investigated
and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if the conflicts of
interest and pocket-lining can be substantiated. If personal greed
trumped their duty to the nation’s security then they belong in prison –
period,” stated Judicial Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry
Klayman.
