HILLARY ORDERED TO COUGH UP HER PHONE LOGS By BRIAN BLOMQUIST and GREGG BIRNBAUM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hillary Rodham Clinton took a day off from campaigning but got slammed by a federal judge's ruling that she must turn over her phone records in a lawsuit over alleged misuse of FBI files. Eight former White House officials - including Clinton ex-chief of staff Maggie Williams - were also told to hand over their phone logs by U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth. "It's huge," said Larry Klayman, head of a conservative group, Judicial Watch, which is suing the White House and Clinton for collecting FBI files on hundreds of prominent Republicans. The judge's order came as Clinton spent the day in the city filming campaign commercials, sources said. A day after receiving the Democratic Party's Senate nomination, Clinton made no public appearances and plans to resume campaigning today, at a Teamsters union event and a Queens Democratic meeting. Battling the lawsuit, the White House argued that Klayman's request for the phone logs was irrelevant and burdensome, requiring aides to sort through 52 boxes of phone logs, including 15 from the first lady's office. But Lamberth said in his ruling that the court "finds that such information ... is relevant to the pending action" and ordered the White House to deliver the records in 20 days. Lamberth's order appears to apply only to Clinton's official phone, although it doesn't establish a time period. "A lot of people have been claiming they didn't have contact with each other, and this could provide evidence that they did," Klayman said. "Telephone records and billing records don't lie." White House spokesman Jim Kennedy responded, "This will involve a Kafkaesque waste of taxpayer money by Republicans intent on using the courts for political purposes." Independent Counsel Robert Ray in March cleared Clinton of any wrongdoing in the 1993 "Filegate" scandal and found she had no role in the hiring of ex-White House aide Craig Livingstone, who had been accused of having a central role in the affair. nypostonline.com
