"There was a relationship that I had with the Clintons that extended over a period of a half-year," Paul told Sean Hannity. "During the course of that relationship, they induced me to become Hillary's biggest contributor."

Paul says he donated $1.2 million to Hillary's campaign by underwriting the lion's share of expenses for an Aug. 12, 2000 celebrity gala fund-raiser.

In a statement posted to his Web site, the Clinton accuser said that if his contribution had been properly reported to the Federal Election Commission as a hard-money donation, "it could have bankrupted the campaign."

The headline on HILLCAP's main page reads: "Did Hillary Clinton win her Senate seat through fraud?"

In an indictment unsealed in January, federal prosecutors claim that Mrs. Clinton's finance director, David Rosen, tried to hide $800,000 contributed by Paul from the FEC. Rosen's trial was set to begin this week before a court scheduling conflict forced its postponement.

"This fund-raiser will ultimately be viewed as [Hillary's] Chappaquiddick and cost her the presidency," Paul told the Times. "I've already got her campaign finance director indicted."

On the HILLCAP Web site, Paul says he'll present evidence that "shows clearly that Hillary Clinton knew of the actions taken by her finance director, and that she orchestrated those actions and others in violation of federal campaign statutes and regulations."

Apart from Rosen's criminal prosecution, Paul has filed a civil suit against the Clintons, which he described to Fox News as "an historic case that, for the first time, brings a president and a senator into court to defend themselves on charges of fraud and extortion."

Reacting to the sudden elevation of Paul's profile, Clinton scandal lawyer David Kendall told the Times:

"Peter Paul is a man with an impressive record of felony convictions, currently in federal custody. Most of his civil suit has already been dismissed and the remainder has no merit."

The Clinton accuser, however, dismissed Kendall's claims as so much whistling past the graveyard.

"Mr. Kendall shows the same type of disregard for the rule of law that his clients have shown throughout their political careers," he told Fox.

"He owes an apology to the justices in California on the Supreme Court, on the appellate court and on the superior court," Paul told NewsMax, "who all reviewed his arguments ... and still ruled that his clients had to prepare to stand trial."
