Ira C. Magaziner, Chief Executive Officer at CHAI (Clinton Health Access Initiative)

Last month, U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ruled that White House aide Ira Magaziner–the architect of President Clinton’s 1993 health-care proposal–and White House lawyers had “deceived” his court in a 1993 affidavit. Officials had “run amok” in their response to a suit filed against the government, said Lamberth, and he ordered the government to cover the $285,864 legal bill incurred by the plaintiffs.

The “deception” that Lamberth complained about was contained in one sentence of a 13-page affidavit filed by Magaziner in response to the suit. Did Magaziner deceive the court, as Judge Lamberth insists he did?


Lamberth still believes that Magaziner deliberately misled the court and that government lawyers acted in “bad faith,”
