White House loses on privilege, Secret Service testimony
Nov 9, 1998
Ruff expresses disappointment with privilege ruling

WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, November 9) -- In a two-pronged setback for the Clinton Administration, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a claim of White House attorney-client privilege and refused to shield Secret Service officers from testifying about the president.

The court declined to hear appeals from the White House and Treasury Department, letting lower court rulings in the two cases stand.

In the privilege case, the decision means that White House lawyer Bruce Lindsey and other government-paid lawyers must answer a federal grand jury's questions and cannot invoke an attorney-client privilege like President Bill Clinton's personal attorneys.
