From Times Staff and Wire Reports

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) said she followed all Senate rules when she accepted rides on a private jet from a longtime benefactor.

“Whatever I’ve done, I complied with Senate rules at the time. That’s the way every senator operates,” the presidential contender said in an interview with the Associated Press during a campaign stop in Las Vegas.

A shareholder lawsuit against Vinod Gupta, a Clinton contributor and chief executive of the data company InfoUSA Inc., accuses Gupta of excessively spending millions of dollars, including $900,000 worth of travel for the senator and her husband.
