Hillary Clinton Lashes Out at New Biography

An angry Hillary Clinton has responded to a new book highly critical of the New York Senator, calling it a "work of fiction."

But a new report about the book confirms what was first revealed exclusively in NewsMax’s Insider Report this past weekend: The late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan and his wife, Liz, despised Hillary.

For the Insider Report, NewsMax pundit John LeBoutillier chatted with Ed Klein, author of "The Truth About Hillary: What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She’ll Go to Become President."

LeBoutillier said the book cuts through the mainstream media’s pro-Hillary propaganda and gives readers "a look at the lying, manipulating, dishonest – and extremely dysfunctional – former first lady who has been on an inexorable march to the Oval Office for over 30 years."

In a sign the Clinton camp is clearly worried about the book and its revelations about Hillary, Hillary’s aide took the unusual step of slamming the book, which is being excerpted in Vanity Fair magazine and will roll off the presses later this month.

As NewsMax first reported, the Vanity Fair excerpt will focus on the vitriol between Hillary and the Moynihans.

"Sen. Clinton will always be proud to have had the support of Sen. Moynihan, and as she has said many times, wishes she still had his wisdom and counsel," said spokesman Philippe Reines.

"Beyond that, we don’t comment on works of fiction, let alone a book full of blatant fabrications."

Our Insider Report predicted the angry response to the book from Hillary’s camp: "Team Clinton undoubtedly plans a fierce counterattack on Klein as soon as the book is published, but with this author they are going to have a tough time."

Klein has worked for the most liberal publications in the U.S., including Newsweek and The New York Times Magazine, and he spoke to almost 100 people close to Hillary going back to the 1960s.

NewsMax's Insider Report revealed details of Clinton’s meeting with Moynihan when she decided to run for his Senate seat and came to Washington to seek his blessing.

Clinton expected a "cakewalk" of an endorsement meeting, but things quickly grew ugly, said LeBoutillier.

"Both the Senator and his wife, Liz, went 'after' Hillary for her years of lies, deceptions and exaggerations. Clearly there was no love lost between the Moynihans and Hillary Rodham Clinton.

"As Liz Moynihan questioned Hillary about her repeated dishonesty, and as Hillary dodged and weaved and lied even more, Pat Moynihan could take it no longer. He stood up and said, 'I have to go up to the Senate.' He left – but actually just went next door to another apartment to get away from Hillary."

Now the New York Post is running a preview of the book, based on the Vanity Fair excerpt, that echoes the Insider Report.

"Sen. Moynihan's wife, Liz, griped to a friend that Hillary Clinton is 'duplicitous. She would say or do anything that would forward her ambitions,'" the Post reports.

Klein's book also quotes Liz Moynihan as saying: "She can look you straight in the eye and lie, and sort of not know she’s lying. 'Lying' isn’t a sufficient word; it's a distortion of the truth to fit her case."

Klein writes that at a meeting, Liz Moynihan was furious when Clinton claimed credit for a health care bill making its way through Congress.

According to the book, Liz barked: "Hillary! That's Pat's bill!"
