Suing the president: Ten years later, John Whitehead looks back at Jones v. Clinton
On a winter day ten years ago, as he was leaving his Charlottesville home to run weekend errands, John Whitehead suspected something was amiss.
"There were these guys in skinny ties and white shirts in a black van, looking me right in the eye," he says.
It had been three months since Whitehead had agreed to take the case of Paula Jones, an Arkansas woman who was suing President Bill Clinton for sexual harassment, and in that time the world's media had been watching Whitehead and his office at the Rutherford Institute, his Charlottesville-based civil liberties law organization. But now he realized a more clandestine adversary was following his every move. The following Monday, he hired a former National Security Agency surveillance expert to inspect his office and confirm what he had already guessed.
