Paula Jones Gets Notice of Tax Audit

Share
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

The IRS is scrutinizing Paula Jones’ income taxes, her legal fund chairman said, describing the move as “very peculiar” coming days after Jones rejected a settlement proposal in her sexual harassment suit against President Clinton. The notice arrived roughly a week after a Little Rock, Ark., judge granted a request from Jones’ lawyers to leave the case. Although she didn’t call the audit outright retaliation, advisor Susan Carpenter McMillan said it seemed strange that federal auditors were suddenly so interested in Jones and her husband, Stephen, who own little property and live on his $37,000 annual salary. White House spokesman Lanny Davis declined comment.
