Clinton depositions blocked by judge

[Geee]

Washington Times:

A federal judge in Florida has blocked a scheduled deposition of Democratic presidential candidateHillary Rodham Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, in a civil lawsuit claiming the Clinton Foundation operated as a criminal enterprise.

 

The conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, which brought the lawsuit against the Clintons, had scheduled separate videotaped depositions next week in Washington for the former president and first lady.

 

U.S. District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks on Tuesday granted a protective order requested by the Clintons’ lawyers that blocked the depositions until the court resolves their pending motion to dismiss the case and halt discovery. The judge’s order did not include the reasoning for his decision.

 

Judge Middlebrooks was appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida by Mr. Clinton in 1997.
