Paula Jones Sues New York Tycoon
August 15, 2001 at 18:50:33 PDT
NEW YORK (AP) - Paula Jones says a colorful New York real estate tycoon
promised her riches to drop a lawsuit against President Clinton but never
showed her the money.
Resurrecting a claim that was dismissed in Dallas last year on procedural
grounds, lawyers for Jones filed a lawsuit Wednesday to force Abe
Hirschfeld to pay the $1 million he had promised publicly
Thomas F. Cohen, a lawyer who filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court,
declined to comment. Lawyer Gregory Kitterman in Little Rock, Ark., who has
represented Jones in the past, did not return a telephone message.
A spokesman for the 81-year-old real estate mogul also did not return a
call seeking comment.
The lawsuit claims Hirschfeld's public promise of $1 million "was still on
the table" even as Jones settled with Clinton in November 1998.
Kitterman has said Jones reached a settlement - in which Clinton offered no
apology or admission of guilt - because she thought Hirschfeld's $1 million
check was a sure thing.
Hirschfeld offered Jones a $1 million check on Oct. 31, 1998 at a news
conference where Jones kissed and praised the tycoon. Later, he seemed to
back off from the offer as he attached conditions to the payment. After the
Dallas lawsuit was filed, Hirschfeld said, "I don't owe her nothing."
Jones claimed Clinton made an unwelcome sexual advance in 1991 in a Little
Rock hotel room while he was Arkansas governor and she was a state
employee. A federal judge dismissed the lawsuit against Clinton.
Since the controversy, Hirschfeld has faced his own legal problems.
He was convicted last year of second-degree criminal solicitation for
offering $150,000 to have Stanley Stahl, his real estate partner of 40
years, killed in 1997 over a business dispute. Stahl died in 1999 of
natural causes.
Hirschfeld was sentenced to one to three years in prison.
