A conservative political organization with ties to the Rev. Jerry Falwell covertly paid more than $200,000 to individuals who made damaging allegations about President Clinton's personal conduct, Salon has learned.
The money was paid out over a three-year period, between l994 and l996, by Citizens for Honest Government, headquartered in Orange County, Calif. The payments are detailed in the organization's confidential accounting ledgers and other internal records, copies of which were obtained by Salon.
The payments and the allegations -- some of which were either fabricated or grossly exaggerated --
were part of a covert and sophisticated political propaganda effort to influence public opinion against President Clinton.
The drug smuggling and Vincent Foster allegations were prominently featured in
"The Clinton Chronicles," a video produced by Citizens for Honest Government and
co-financed, publicized and distributed by Falwell. The notorious 1994 video
also insinuated that Clinton's political adversaries often met untimely and suspicious deaths."
