The Associated PressA lawsuit against Democratic fund-raiser Denise Rich alleges that she asked an employee to make an illegal donation to Sen. Hillary Clinton, newspaper reports said Saturday.
Jimmy Hester, who worked for Rich's record company until February 2002, reportedly filed the $30 million lawsuit Friday in federal court. The suit also alleges that Rich fired him after he told her he had HIV.
The suit, reported in the Daily News and the New York Post, claims Rich told Hester to donate $2,000 to Clinton's Senate campaign in October 1999 and said she would reimburse him.
Filings for Clinton's campaign show that Hester made two $1,000 donations, the News said. Federal law bans campaign contributions disguised in the name of another person.
